Well, do "perl -v" and see if it's at least 5.004 (5.004.003 I think would be better.) If so, hpa's requirement that everything work on 5.004 is fine. (And really, I don't believe that requirement is going to be hard to follow, except that it does constrain the modules in use a little bit - I'm pretty sure the Digest::MD5 was missing from the 5.004 default set of modules.) > There's also a subject of a skillset.

Well, that's an example of incredibly bad Perl, so, you should be able to follow well-written and documented Perl, imo. (I did an amazing amount of sirc hacking in my time, and it was an exercise in pain, to be honest.) -- Ryan Anderson sometimes Pug Majere - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
