Need help on OSSP:UUID in perl 5.10

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

Hi Monks ,

We are currently using OSSP:UUID module in Linux to generate 128 bit numbers in perl 5.8 and now we have uprated perl from 5.8 to 5.10 . there was an upgrade in gcc compiler too . it was upgrated to gcc version 4.3.4 .

Need your help before rebuild the module in server for perl 5.10 . Is there any dependency for this module for perl 5.10 and with gcc version 4.3.4 .

After some discussion in the CB, it seems that the problem is that OSSP::UUID does "not compile" on the new OS + gcc. OSSP::UUID is not on CPAN (anymore?) , and the last live link to it is via http://cvs.ossp.org/chngview?cn=6010. Without the exact error message(s), we cannot help you there.	[reply]

If there were, it would probably be reported in CPAN (under bugs or in the documentation). But if the dependency is unknown, nobody can tell you about it. So you have to test it anyway before using it in a production environment.	[reply]
