Re: tie::Autotie

As the author, I'm pretty sure it's 5.6-compatible. The only reason it requires 5.8.3 is because I foolishly forgot to tell it to be backward-compatible. There should be an updated version later today on CPAN. For now, I give you permission to remove the 'require 5.008003' line.

Thanks a lot of letting me know that this will work in 5.6.1. As you suggested, I removed "5.008003" from "Makefile.PL" and rebuilt the library. But, when I tried to execute a simple code to test this, it still gave an error as follows:- Perl v5.8.3 required--this is only v5.6.1, stopped at /...../..../..../Tie/Autotie.pm line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /.../.../.../plib/Tie/Autotie.pm line 3. Compilation failed in require at test.cgi line 5. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.cgi line 5. and the sample code is `#! /path to perl use lib "path to auto tie"; use Data::Dumper; use Tie::Autotie 'Tie::IxHash'; tie %test_var, 'Tie::IxHash'; $tmp1 = 'MAIN'; $tmp2 = 'New'; $test_var{MAIN}{APP} = undef; $test_var{$tmp1}{$tmp2} = undef; $test_var{MAIN}{OP} = undef; $test_var{MAIN}{Vxit} = undef; $test_var{MAIN}{Exit} = undef; $test_var{MAIN}{OP}{PRO} = undef; $test_var{MAIN}{OP}{DEV} = undef; $test_var{MAIN}{OP}{CON} = undef; print Dumper(\%test_var);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Then it will be having a `use 5.008003` in the Autofile.pm which yu should try removing. /J\	[reply] [d/l]
