| Subject: | compile failures on multiple OSes with perl-5.8.8 |
With our perl-5.8.8 (no threads, shared libperl, built with gcc-4.1.2)
the latest version of Verilog-Perl (3.212) shows the following compile
problem:

The Perl installation is updated to all the latest versions from CPAN -
so it could be a side-effect of some ExtUtils::* or Devel::* updates - I
tried the previous 3.211 and that shows the same issue; here is what I
installed recently (i.e., after Verilog-Perl-3.211):

I suppose it is probably the ExtUtils::CBuilder and/or ExtUtils::ParseXS
which cause the issues. Please feel free to reassign this ticket if the
root cause is there.
Many thanks and keep up the good work,
