It was active when I started using it. That's part of the problem; all my new scripts over the last couple of years now use it. Unfortunately, I suspect replacing Euclid is what I'm going to have to do.
Comment on Re^2: Getopt::Euclid victim of 5.10 upgrade
You're an experienced user of the module, and the way you presented the problem shows you definitely have some skill. Perhaps fixing Getopt::Euclid really would be a better use of your time than reworking your application. Even if you can't/shouldn't/won't take over maintaining G::E on CPAN, you can still post your solution as a patch on rt.
