We're talking copying back to lower versions, not upwards. 5.8.x is very happy with it, and 5.6.2 is happy with it if we also copy config_h.SH and configpm > You should probably regenerate Configure once for each tree in question. > It may be that there won't be any significant differences.

If the latest versions justr work as expected and are still safe, it's the easiest way out. I already dropped two of my initially planned shakeouts in Configure due to backward compatibility. When I accepted the job I didn't realize that Configure (and the metaunits) would still be used by older perls -- H.Merijn Brand Amsterdam Perl Mongers (http://amsterdam.pm.org/) using perl-5.6.1, 5.8.0, & 5.9.x, and 806 on HP-UX 10.20 & 11.00, 11i, AIX 4.3, SuSE 8.2, and Win2k. http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/ http://archives.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] send smoke reports to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], QA: http://qa.perl.org
