Or maybe we should discuss if there is any point in trying to pretend that we still support Windows 9X. And if we can drop 9X, then I would like to drop NT as well. Nobody is running those systems anymore, so I think it should be fine to say that Perl 5.10 is the last version that still supports these obsolete versions. > But ... after all that, @INC is still broken anyway (in the same way as before) ! > Back to square 1.
