Hi,
As regards 2.4.11_010 on various perls on MS Windows:
The problem with PGPLOT/Window.pm and Filter::Simple still persists.
And, on perl-5.8.8 and perl-5.8.9, the 'perl Makefile.PL' step fails with:
String found where operator expected at inc/Carp.pm line 146, near "$arg =~
s/'/\\'"
Global symbol "$where" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line
118.
Global symbol "$db_arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line
118.
Global symbol "$db_arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line
118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line 118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line 118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line 118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line 118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line 118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line 118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at inc/Carp.pm line 118.
inc/Carp.pm has too many errors.

Line 118 contains the // operator which, as we all know, wasn't implemented
until 5.10.0.
Do we want to modify the code in Carp.pm to make it compatible with 5.8.x ?
... or just "up" the minimum perl version required to 5.010 ?
Cheers,
Rob
