Re: perl5.6 (was: Shared variables, inner subs and "our")
Unfortunately it is a requirement for this project. We need to parse utf8 XML and munge other XML using that data. I seem to have everything working now although I had to fix some stuff in XML::DOM. --Jauder On Sun, 18 Mar 2001, Bogomolnyi Constantin wrote: > Hi , > Unicode is a way of pain . don't go this way . > specialy in 5.7.0 were it is broken . > 5.6.0 is well you know what . > There is many other systems to hold multilingual apps , that not require any > unicode . > > I use 5.7.0 in production (i386 , BSD 4.2) and it runs perfectly .

Re: perl5.6 (was: Shared variables, inner subs and "our")
Hi , Unicode is a way of pain . don't go this way . specialy in 5.7.0 were it is broken . 5.6.0 is well you know what . There is many other systems to hold multilingual apps , that not require any unicode . I use 5.7.0 in production (i386 , BSD 4.2) and it runs perfectly . Except unicode support. 5.6.0 has a lot of bugs (witch were fixed in 5.7.0) Best Cb - Original Message - From: "Jauder Ho" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bogomolnyi Constantin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 8:44 AM Subject: Re: perl5.6 (was: Shared variables, inner subs and "our") > > Hello there, could you detail a little more about your Unicode experience > with perl?

I don't think anyone working on the Perl core would recommend the use of a dev release in production unless you absolutely need a piece of functionality present in that particular dev release. I'd suggest using 5.00503 until 5.6.1 comes out, which should fix lots of bugs. -dave /*== www.urth.org We await the New Sun ==*/

Hi , You should probably try 5.7.0 witch is much more stable than 5.6.0 (you should not try unicode stuff , whitch is quite buggy) I use 5.7.0 on all my production servers without any problems .

I may > downgrade to perl5.005 and give that a whirl... Please search the archives. There were reports of problems with perl5.6, Doug has submitted quite a few fixes for 5.6 to make it working with mod_perl. I'm not sure whether perl5.6-PATCH2 is bugless with regard to mod_perl. Not to mention possible problems that has nothing to do with mod_perl, but are general Perl issues. Therefore I still use 5.00503 on my production sites. But some people are using 5.6 without any problems on their production sites. _ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://apachetoday.com http://logilune.com/ http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/

Would you recommend the use of perl5.6 with mod_perl? What you are saying is making me queasy. I'm asking because I've been having bad luck with Apache::Session and some other modules in some mod_perl aware applications. Things aren't comming out the data source properly, things are hanging, things aren't locking/unlocking properly, etc. It could well be that the applications I'm working with aren't using Sessions, Tie::Cache, etc properly. I may downgrade to perl5.005 and give that a whirl... -- Regards, Wim Kerkhoff
