I meant 2.19, as that is the first version after the failing 2.15 that appeared in a stable perl. That implies that it is much harder to test against 2.16 than it is to test against 2.19 Additionally, Storable 2.51 installs flawless on 5.8.8, I I made the safer jump from 2.15 to 2.19 instead of to 2.16 which I did not test If you agree with 2.19 because of this reasoning, I'll commit that change with some comment > > Agree? > > Yeap. > > Thanks for looking after this! > > Tim. -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using perl5.00307 .. 5.27 porting perl5 on HP-UX, AIX, and openSUSE http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
