esharris has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How can I find a version of B::Lint that works for Perl 5.8.3? It looks like the B::Lint on CPAN only works for version 5.8.6.

    perl5.8.3 came with B::Lint 1.02 according to Module::CoreList. You don't already have it?

    If you are missing it, you'll need to grab it out of the perl5.8.3 distro. Some core modules haven't found a life as separate distributions yet. :(

    You can use the B::Lint module with perl -MO=Lint xyz.pl. Lint works only fine for perl without threads support.
