| Subject: | Wrong specification of minimum perl version |
Gantry's Build.PL has the line
'perl' => '5.8',
This is wrong, it should be either '5.8.0' or '5.008'. Check it yourself:
$ perl -e 'use 5.8;'
Perl v5.800.0 required (did you mean v5.008?)--this is only v5.8.8,
stopped at -e line 1.
Or
$ perl5.10.0 -e 'use 5.8;'
Perl v5.800.0 required (did you mean v5.8.0?)--this is only v5.10.0,
stopped at -e line 1.
Note that the "old-fashioned" form 5.008 is preferred, because perls
older than 5.006 won't understand the new form and will return funny
error messages.
