Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: HTML::Form->Parse (Perl) not working under Fedora Core 1

...and I was then able to *fix* the problem by REBUILDING the package 'perl-HTML-Parser-3.26-18.i386.rpm' under my new Fedora Core 1 system. Apparently, the Fedora people had simply taken the same package that was compiled under perl 5.8.0 and assumed it would be compatible when moved to 5.8.1

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! I will now report this to Fedora bugzilla.

Perl 5.8.1 should not be used any more, because of binary incompatibility with 5.8.0. It is the reason why 5.8.2 came out so soon. So, use either 5.8.0 or 5.8.2. I've been told that in ActivePerl/Win32, the feature responsible for the incompatibilty, had been disabled. So ActivePerl 5.8.1 is fine. Perl 5.8.2 and later will be binary compatible with 5.8.0, and largely also with 5.8.1.	[reply]
