Subject: version.pm fails on Perl 5.8.8
Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2016 15:58:56 +0200
To: bug-version [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Michael Herger <michael [...] herger.net>
Unfortunately version.pm 0.9916 fails to load on Perl 5.8.8 (found in our users’ old ReadyNAS devices). The following line throws an error along the lines „module if.pm not found“: https://bitbucket.org/jpeacock/version/src/3cffe3d1d62af5297fd167f1f98aa4b3c55966b1/vperl/vpp.pm?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#vpp.pm-682 Checking the documentation for the "use" command I only see the "use if..." syntax mentioned in Perl 5.12. Is that statement not compatible with older Perl versions?

$ corelist if Data for 2016-03-20 if was first released with perl v5.6.2 if.pm is in the perl core. If it is missing from your perl installation, something about it is broken!

Ok, I'll blame Netgear then. Thanks for looking into this.

This is caused by a missing core package, not a problem with vpp.pm itself.
