Subject: PERL_POLLUTE breakage of Math::Pari on 5.13.4
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2010 16:35:16 +0100
To: bug-Math-Pari [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Zefram <zefram [...] fysh.org>
The effect of the PERL_POLLUTE macro, which Pari.xs defines, has been removed from Perl 5.13.4. As a result, Math::Pari no longer compiles. I suggest that you switch to the 5.6 symbol names. -zefram

And now, when p5p in its infinite wisdom removed these (automatically generated) defines, every extension would need to add them back by hand. Well, would one expect anything else? Show quoted text

The following patch makes things work without PERL_POLLUTE...

The thinking is that compatibility of XS to 5.005 is no longer any practical use, so no one should still be using the old names. Math::Pari is the only module affected of all the ones I test. By all means petition perl5-porters for PERL_POLLUTE to be reinstated, if you have sufficient ire. -zefram

I just want to remind that perl 5.14.0 will happen in a month or so, so probably the Pari.xs patch should be applied and a new release be done? Regards, Slaven

I really appreciate your prodding me in this regard, thanks! However, given the annoyance factor of this particular edit, I do not know when I would be able to find time to touch it... If I knew a reliable indicator when a module must do POLLUTE definitions itself... Drat, Ilya
