I can understand that. I wouldn't want to take a patch that low-level in
Strawberry this close to an RC. But I was requested to ask ...
And I have to admit that I would prefer that Catalyst not have the
possibility of crashing on 5.10.1 on Win32! [I personally like
Perldoc::Server.]
Would it help if I ran a smoker over perl with that patch, and if so,
what would I need to set up, with what settings, and where is the fine
manual in question? I've got a moderately fast (it builds/tests/installs
perl when I do Strawberry builds in 1 1/2 hours or so, iirc) Win32
machine I can temporarily dedicate to the purpose tomorrow (probably
starting 15 hours from now). My family would just have to live without
their games for 24 hours or however long it took.
