I have a header file such that: 

#include "mysql/mysql.h"
 
typedef struct DataLib {
  MYSQL mysql;
  char  *host;
  char  *dbname;
  char  *user;
  char  *password;
} DataLib;
 
typedef DataLib *pDataLib;
 
int connect2DB(char *host,char *dbname,char *user,char *password);
int startQuery(char *sql);
char **getRow(void);

When I invoke h2xs as such: 
 h2xs -xmas -nDataLib DataLib.h

[download]
when this happened: 
 h2xs -xmas -nDataLib DataLib.h
Defaulting to backwards compatibility with perl 5.8.0

Have I found a new way to break h2xs? The C::Scan on my system is whatever the latest from CPAN is...
