- All the core routines used should be compatible down to perl 5.8.8.
Ugh. So not just Perl, ancient perl.
I don't suppose Perl offers any kind of "compatible(5.8.8)" statement
or
anything? Do I have to compile a ten-year-old Perl and its dependencies
to
work on PostgreSQL tests?
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Perl-MinimumVersion/lib/Perl/MinimumVersion.pm
looks useful; do you think it's reasonable for code that passes that
check
to just be thrown at the buildfarm?
I think what's needed is:
use 5.008_008;
( see: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/use.html )
