Re^3: problem with Config::Std on FreeBSD box?

Found the problem.

The prototype being used by Config::Std::read_config isn't supported until perl 5.7.3 - see perl573delta.

Minimal test case:

sub read_config ($\[%$]) {}
read_config( 'example.conf' => my %conf );

Thank you so much.. I'm on that. It's really a simple thing it's doing for the end user of this module.. But it seems clean and slick - And it's made by the Big Poppa of sterilized coding... So I didn't want to pass this up. Should there be something in Config::Std About this? Makefile.PL does not say something about the version of perl needed. Did I miss it? Did the person who installed this miss it... ?	[reply]
