  Thu Jan 20 13:55:12 2011 leonerd-cpan [...] leonerd.org.uk - Ticket created
Subject: Builds unusable code for perl 5.10.1
The following line gets created by ExtUtils::Constant: croak_sv(sv_2mortal(sv)); This fails on Perl 5.10.1 (and likely others), because croak_sv doesn't exist. By noticing that the sv is in fact a plain SvPV, I managed to get the code to compile and run against 5.10.1 by just changing this to croak(SvPV_nolen(sv_2mortal(sv))); Quite likely a total hack, but it gets my code working. :) Perhaps EU::C could generate some code for older perls that would actually work - I'm not sure if this form is best, or something else. -- Paul Evans

+1 I find failures of Crypt::SMIME on Perl <=5.12 http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Crypt-SMIME+0.19 are caused by this issue. On Thu Jan 20 13:55:12 2011, PEVANS wrote: Show quoted text
