My biggest problem at the moment is getting old perl versions to compile and work. Specifically, 5.6.2 completely fails to compile into something usable on current Linux distributions. I have been installing virtual machines with old Linux releases, in order to have an environment where it compiles cleanly. So far, I have went back up to Ubuntu 10.04 but some tests from the perl test suite are still failing there. Then, another issue is that the current versions of several packages used by Storable (i.e. B::Deparse) doesn't support 5.6 anymore... well, the thing is that it is being a very time consuming task, though, eventually I will be able to do do it. If anybody has a working perl 5.6.x and want to compile and test the version of the module I have at GitHub (https://github.com/salva/p5-Storable), it would be very helpfull. BTW, how about 5.005? does still make sense to support such old perl version?Thread Previous | Thread Next
