in reply to Is there a Net::Jabber package for Perl 5.6 somewheres?

I've been using the 1.28 version on Perl 5.6 with no problems for quite a while now. Where did you see that it required Perl 5.8? In fact, the source of Jabber.pm says require 5.005;, so I don't think you should have any problems running under Perl 5.6.

Update: Just checked the latest CVS over at JabberStudio and it too only requires 5.005.

    Okay, Net::Jabber 1.28 requires XML::Stream 1.16 which requires Perl 5.8 for Unicode support. And I read that as requires 5.8 period. My bad, since the source clearly has use 5.006_001;

    Still, XML::Stream 1.16 hangs at buildxml test 3, so there must be something funny going on. I'll have to send an email to the maintainer.

    Thanks for the sanity check!
