DBI 1.605 broken on Perl 5.6.2

1.604 works fine. 1.605 fails tests with major errors. Here's an example of the kind of error messages I'm seeing: t/01basics.t................ # Failed test 'use DBI;' # at t/01basics.t line 40. # Tried to use 'DBI'. # Error: Can't load '/home/david/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605-VFdesH/blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so' for module DBI: /home/david/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605-VFdesH/blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so: undefined symbol: PERL_UNUSED_VAR at /home/david/perl/5.6.2-malloc-debug/lib/5.6.2/i686-linux-64int-ld/DynaLoader.pm line 206. # at /home/david/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605-VFdesH/blib/lib/DBI.pm line 263 There are some CPAN Testers reports that show similar problems: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/1717382 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/1717339 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/1717885

Perl 5.8.1 is now the minimum supported version (as of DBI 1.607)

But I still (DBI 1.609) see Build, test and install Perl 5 (5.6 or later). in the README file. DBI.pm specifies require 5.006_00; as a minimum requirement. Regards, Slaven

Fixed (by r13151) to require 5.8.1
