Subject: IO::Poll Version problem.
Version 0.06 of IO::Poll ships with perl 5.8.0, while version 0.01 of IO::Poll is shipped with perl 5.6.0, and as part of the IO distribution. There is a bug in the handles method of version 0.01, and users attempting to upgrade are told they are up-to-date. Could the new version (0.06) of IO::Poll be made available on CPAN for users of 5.6.0 who would like to upgrade ?

I have been meaning to backport what is in 5.8.0 into the IO dist but I have just not had time. Since including IO in the perl dist it has not had much life outside the perl dist. I guess the best place to appeal for help would be the perl5-porters list. Graham.
