Re^4: Perl 5.10.1 builds now available from ActivePerl (Version bug?)

Weird that they differ. The 'perl -V' output is derived from $summary in Config_heavy.pl (so you could hard code in the correct value there if you wanted), but I couldn't find where $version_patchlevel_string is set. The bug may not be of great consequence, but should probably be reported to ActiveState.

It would be a good idea to check that both $^V and $] report v5.10.1 and 5.010001 (resp).

Cheers,
Rob

Yes. Both the internal version vars report the right thing: `c:\test>perl -E"say $^V, '-', $]" v5.10.1-5.010001` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
