Subject: Solaris version check doesn't parse versions correctly
We have run into a problem with the Apache::SizeLimit on Solaris 2.10. Note that 2.10 is not > 2.6 so we receive the error below. [Fri Jun 20 15:39:28 2008] [error] Apache::SizeLimit is not implemented on your platform. at if ( $Config{'osname'} eq 'solaris' && $Config{'osvers'} >= 2.6 ) { *_platform_check_size = \&_solaris_2_6_size_check; *_platform_getppid = \&_perl_getppid; }

Is 2.6 still commonly seen? Maybe we can just drop this check now. - Perrin

From: "David L. Fielding" <dlf2 [...] cornell.edu>
David, I believe I saw something that indicated the os function size limit uses was added to Solaris as of 2.6. Removing it would mean the code would simply not work for versions earlier than 2.6. Even though most Solaris systems that are maintained have likely been upgraded to 2.6 and above there are likely a few out there. Why not simply split the version on '.' and only compare the right side if the left side equals 2. $version =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/; if ($1 > 2 or ($1 == 2 and $2 >=6)) { { ... } This would work for 2.10 or 3.1.
