Upgrading from Perl 5.6 to Perl 5.8
Hi all, I've upgraded to Perl 5.8 from 5.6 and I'm getting output I don't understand when I try to install the DBI module. I'm on Solaris 9 (Sparc) and I had Perl 5.0 and 5.6 installed as packages and I removed them with pkgrm. I then installed Perl 5.8 from ActiveState using ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-sun4-solaris.tar.gz. Now I'm trying to install the DBI module and when I execute 'perl Makefile.PL' the output returned says: I see you're using perl 5.008006 on sun4-solaris, okay. There's nothing in my environment that says perl 5.0. My question is two fold: Where is this Makefile.PL getting the Perl version from and how do I fix this?

There's nothing in my environment that says perl 5.0. My question is two fold: Where is this Makefile.PL getting the Perl version from and how do I fix this? Perl versioning is a little funny. A while back, after Perl 5 came out, followup releases were seen as merely patches to Perl5, not deserving major or even minor version numbers, so they were denoted like 5.002 or 5.005_54. Over time, it was realized that the language was in fact growing a lot, and that these trivial revisions were actually significant. And that the zeroes in 5.006 really shouldn't be there. So they came out. Sort of. For all purposes, a Perl version 5.00x00y is 5.x.y by more conventional notation. Some things will still present the information to you in the older format, which still lives on in Perl's deep, dark guts, but all discussion of Perl will generally omit the zeroes, and most messages from Perl will as well. So. You installed ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-sun4-solaris.tar.gz (aka 5.8.6), and are told by `perl Makefile.PL` that you have 5.008006. Squint your eyes and you'll see that these are actually the same version. If you're interested, this fills in *lots* of gaps: http://history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.html But anyway. Yes, it's confusing. Yes, it doesn't make sense even after being explained. Yes, there are good reasons for the status quo, but they're weird. Yes, supposedly Perl6 will fix this. Someday. No, Perl 6 will not give you a pony. Sorry. For now, just accept it as one of Perl's quirks.

Upgrading from version 5.8.0 to 5.8.5 on Solaris

I made a script and I have the following output This Perl hasn't been configured and built properly for the threads module to work. (The 'useithreads' configuration option hasn't been used.) So I download the last version of Perl and compile it again with thread support, with the following commands rm -rf config.sh Policy.sh sh Configure -de -Dusethreads make make test make install I have the following questions 1.

Re: upgrading perl to 5.6 from 5.005_03 question?
Ravi, I just upgraded from 5.6 to 5.8.0, and I can tell you I am VERY happy that I left both perl installs intact, because it allowed me to compare the operation of my code under each version. If there was a difference in how my code worked, it was due to a change in the Perl version or my installation of it. Fortunately I had a robust set of test cases to help me track down any changes. While I can't speak specifically about the differences between 5.005 and 5.6, I would very much want to leave 5.005 in place until I was satisfied that 5.6 was installed and working. During the transition, you could have one login with the environment (PERL5LIB, PATH etc) set to use the old Perl and a different login that uses the new. Or somthing like that.

It is definitely getting more press. I have never tried it but by all

Let me chime in on this question; I'm also stuck with the 2nd ed camel.
I know it's hopelessly outdated ('96? Ancient history!) but if a guy
were broke would it be better to work from the old book in hand or to
give it the ol' heave ho and live (and die) by the perldocs? Are there
any simple caveats that would help one safely squeeze value from the
2nd ed?
[..]
Let's put this the other way around - much of what I wrote in perl
I wrote originally from the 1st Edition - and modified on
the fly = from the perldocs - so I bought the 3rd Edition in the
big hope that it would help me 'more' some how - and to be
truthful - if you can deal with coding from 'man pages' -
then spending the nickle on the 3rd Edition of the Pocket
Reference should be good enough - as that is where one will
really be thumbing. Since you will be able to 'cut and paste'
from the perldoc's rather than from books.
There is a lot of interesting and useful information in
the 3rd edition that goes into gory detail - if you like
that sort of stuff about why they opted to TIMTOWTDI'd it
this way or that...
Given that the Apocalypse is coming, you may want to wait
until the first of the Perl6 books come out - if you are
'book oriented', but frugal in these matters.
Oh Yes - when writing your POD for you apps and modules,
do make them cool enough so we can just cut and paste
our way through them to use them. Which Means YOU should
have it as
my ($firstThing, $secondThing, $thirdThing) =
thisCoolFunk($input1, $input2, $input3);
Your elders did that for you, be polite and show some
respect for the older generation

Upgrading perl problems ?
HI All, I have one small doubts and I want to share with you to make sure. I was using old version of perl5 and couple of scripts were using DBD, DBI, Time modules. Recently I did upgrade the perl5 version 5.005_03 (with Sun package ). Will upgarding the perl version will break something ? Because I found that the scripts are not running properly. Its not able to pull data from Oracle server. I did also try upgrating DBD and DBI with latest version, It didn't help. Have you come with such issues ? Any guess ? Thanks everyone. AS
