autodie has been around for a long time, but it only became part of the perl core in v5.10.1 (according to Module::CoreList). I think the code in perl/ requires only 5.8, but whenever we unconditionally use perl without respect to NO_PERL (like in the test scripts), we usually shoot for even antique versions of perl like 5.005. So by those rules, we should avoid "autodie" here, though I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a while for people to complain in practice (most modern systems will have a recent enough perl, but it seems we go through cycles where every few years somebody posts a bunch of patches for ancient versions of IRIX or some other platform, cleaning up all of these sorts of portability problems). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
