Re: Detect which version of perl an XS module is linked against?

I fixed my problem by removing the offending module but I want to fix this for everyone.

That sounds like an ActiveState bug to me. I'm not sure how far to go to try to work around potentially broken Perl installations. (I'm not saying that you broke your Perl installation, only that AS Perl should be more careful.)

chromatic, I agree. When I ran the de-install it obviously did not remove everything it should have. The Parrot test suite should be able to run without user interaction though (acknowledging the pop-up). We could tell each user as the problem comes up that their perl installation is broken and how to fix it or we can try to work around it. Until I researched it, I didn't know how much a work around was. Given xdg's comment, I will provide a patch in the next day or two and it can be applied or not. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
