I know people who would use that build option and are backporting your original patch and if there are conflicts I would like to get it resolved. More specifically Booking has been backporting your patch ever since you wrote it, to perls from before when you wrote it. Thus a long time, (with no issue mind you). Even though I don't work at Booking any more I would like to get this sorted out so my friends and colleagues there do not have to deal with it. I would be happy to write the required code. cheers, YvesThread Previous | Thread Next
