Subject: Patches to make Algorithm-Combinatorics run under 5.005_03
Hello, I wanted to run Algorithm::Combinatorics on a fast machine with an aging 5.005 installation that I have no wish to upgrade at this time. The A::C source contains a couple 5.6+-isms, mainly 'use warnings' and 'our'. I hacked the code to replace all this with 5.005-compatible syntax, and it worked! I wasn't able to run the test suite, as I couldn't understand the funkiness going on in Tester.pm. But it took about five minutes to do and the code appears to be running flawlessly. I commented out the 'use warnings' without bothering to replace it by -w.
