Hi everyone;
Perl is moving onward and many modules have Perl 5.8 support only
provisionally (Moose for example, already has a stated policy of only
support 5.8 on a best effort basis). Perl 5.10 has a number of
additional features we might want to use over time and by not be stuck
with 5.8 ways of doing things.
I would like to suggest a policy going forward of bumping up the major
Perl version once a year or so, starting with 5.10 for 1.5.
Arch Linux is on 5.18, so no objection. I suppose it depends on what
shipping distros are using. I can't see there is much point in
supporting a distro that hasn't been shipped for a couple of years.
Perl 5.8 was released in 2008 and 5.10 in 2009. If supporting them
presents a large issue, I can't see why LedgerSMB should.
Kind regards
Benedict White
Any feedback or objections?
