PadWalker 1.7 incorrectly requires a minimum Perl version. The build error is: PadWalker requires a newer version of perl to build. requires: 5.008002 available: 5.10.0 See the build errors for Windows, Linux, etc. at http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.10-P.html Show quoted text

This looks rather like a bug in the build tools at activestate to me. With standard perl tools Padwalker builds correctly on 5.10 and 5.11 which both should be regarded as > 5.008002. Maybe you can bug activestate?

Yes. It sounds as though there's a bug in *something*, but I'm not sure the bug is in PadWalker. The META.yml for PadWalker 1.7 contains requires: perl: 5.008002 which is perfectly true. PadWalker won't work on any Perl older than 5.8.2. It works fine on 5.10, of course. I agree with Andreas that this sounds like a bug in the ActiveState build system. I wonder if I could work around the problem by specifying the version as "5.8.2" instead: does anybody know? Robin

That alternative syntax for specifying the version may be worth trying. It should be valid according to module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html#version_specifications Show quoted text
