Re^4: Artificial perl version dependencies by syphilis (Archbishop) on Dec 22, 2006 at 09:14 UTC
it wouldn't build with a modern GCC `D:\>perl -V:cc cc='gcc'; D:\>perl -e "print $]" 5.006002` [download] That is, of course, built using the MinGW port of gcc (version 3.2.x, I think). I also had a 5.6.1 built using the same compiler - but it has long been deleted. Not sure that 3.2.x qualifies as "modern", ftm ... Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

On some releases things appear to be broken which aren't. And, 5.6.1 didn't build "out of the box", I had to patch DB_File.xs due to a modern Berkeley DB version. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.
