Configuring IO-AIO-4.8 ... *** *** Canary::Stability COMPATIBILITY AND SUPPORT CHECK *** ================================================= *** *** Hi! *** *** I do my best to provide predictable and reliable software. *** *** However, in recent releases, P5P (who maintain perl) have been *** introducing regressions that are sometimes subtle and at other tim +es *** catastrophic, often for personal preferences with little or no con +cern *** for existing code, most notably CPAN. *** *** For this reason, it has become very hard for me to maintain the le +vel *** of reliability and support I have committed myself to in the past, + at *** least with some perl versions: I simply can't keep up working arou +nd new *** bugs or gratituous incompatibilities, and in turn you might suffer + from *** unanticipated problems. *** *** Therefore I have introduced a support and compatibility check, the + results *** of which follow below, together with a FAQ and some recommendation +s. *** *** This check is just to let you know that there might be a risk, so +you can *** make judgement calls on how to proceed - it will not keep the modu +le from *** installing or working. *** *** The stability canary says: (nothing, it was driven away by harsh w +eather) *** *** It seems you are running perl version 5.038000, likely the "offici +al" or *** "standard" version. While there is nothing wrong with doing that, *** standard perl versions 5.022 and up are not supported by IO::AIO. *** While this might be fatal, it might also be all right - if you run + into *** problems, you might want to downgrade your perl or switch to the *** stability branch. *** *** If everything works fine, you can ignore this message. *** *** *** Stability canary mini-FAQ: *** *** Do I need to do anything? *** With luck, no. While some distributions are known to fail *** already, most should probably work. This message is here *** to alert you that your perl is not supported by IO::AIO, *** and if things go wrong, you either need to downgrade, or *** sidegrade to the stability variant of your perl version, *** or simply live with the consequences. *** *** What is this canary thing? *** It's purpose is to check support status of IO::AIO with *** respect to your perl version. *** *** What is this "stability branch"? *** It's a branch or fork of the official perl, by schmorp, to *** improve stability and compatibility with existing modules. *** *** How can I skip this prompt on automated installs? *** Set PERL_CANARY_STABILITY_NOPROMPT=1 in your environment. *** More info is in the Canary::Stability manpage. *** *** Long version of this FAQ: http://stableperl.schmorp.de/faq.html *** Stability Branch homepage: http://stableperl.schmorp.de/ ***
