Note also that the "-Dusedevel" parameter to @configure is no longer necessary now that patchlevel.h has an even numbered PERL_VERSION: #define PERL_REVISION 5 /* age */ #define PERL_VERSION 8 /* epoch */ #define PERL_SUBVERSION 0 /* generation */ I would nonetheless recommend retaining the "-Dusedevel" for build_devperl once the devel version is started.
