| Subject: | I've fixed Math::VecStat to build under Perl 5.8 |
On ActivePerl 5.8 on Windows XP, Math::VecStat breaks on test 36 of Math-VecStat.t. This is because Perl 5.8 sorts slightly differently than perl 5.6. This patch fixes this problem so that Math::VecStat works on both perl 5.6 and perl 5.8.
