Subject: PPI accidentally stopped working with Perl 5.6
Jumping from release 1.202_01 to 1.202_03, something happened in the code that caused PPI to stop working on Perl 5.6. I presume this isn't intentional, since the Changes file from 1.202_03 states "Upgrading explicit Perl dependency to 5.006" Because PPI is broken, projects that make use of current version of PPI (e.g. Perl::Critic also fail on the Perl 5.6 platform). You can see the difference on the Testers Matrix: http://bbbike.radzeit.de/~slaven/cpantestersmatrix.cgi?dist=PPI%201.202_01 http://bbbike.radzeit.de/~slaven/cpantestersmatrix.cgi?dist=PPI%201.202_03 Here are example test failure reports: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/05/msg1452822.html http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/11/msg2577062.html http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/11/msg2578102.html If needed, I'd be happy to help you in testing possible solutions under Perl 5.6. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I don't have convenient access to a 5.6 install to see why this is the case... I'll see if I can work out some form of access. Adam K 2009/3/11 Anirvan Chatterjee via RT <bug-PPI@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text

Minimum version of Perl moved to 5.6, and is now tested.
