Thanks for that release. I installed it using perlbrew on my mageia v6 x86-64 system and ran the equivalent of this - https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/blob/master/shlomif-settings/home-bin-executables/shlomif-specific/perl-cpan-smoke-test--source-me.bash . There were a few failures but they don't seem to be the new perl's fault, and I was able to install what I wanted eventually. Thanks! Regards, Shlomi FishThread Previous | Thread Next
