Oh, and this warning appears with Perl 5.10.

Thanks. What version of perl are you running? -- rjbs

I just tested locally with Perl 5.10.1 and 5.13.8, and I get no warning. Maybe is it specific to 5.10.0?

That's possible. I tried to install 5.10.0 here and the install failed. I don't have time to try harder right now. Check perl5101delta? 5.10.0 is a lousy release, I strongly encourage you to upgrade. It is slow and buggy. -- rjbs

I just wrote a reduced testcase, and the problem only appears with Perl 5.10.0. If you replace use 5.8.5; by use 5.008005; then the warning goes away.

perl5101delta says: v-string in use/require is non-portable This warning has been removed. So yes, the problem seems to only exist in 5.10.0.

rjbs, would you agree to revert use 5.8.5; back to use 5.008005; as suggested in my comment above? This would fix the problem for all of those who cannot update Perl to 5.10.1. Also, is 5.8.5 really needed? Isn't 5.8.1 enough? See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631328#c3 LpSolit

Yes, I will very grudgingly make a release for 5.008001 soon. -- rjbs

Thanks a lot! :) Are you complaining about using the old syntax, or about supporting 5.8.1?

5.8.1 -- 5.8.5 has been out for nearly seven years. In fact, it's less than *one year newer* than 5.8.1, but contains massive bugfixes, including to Unicode handling. At any rate, my change here will be to *allow* 5.8.1, not to support it. The first time I get a bug report that something specific in Email::MIME doesn't work on 5.8.1 but is fixed by 5.8.5, I am likely to crank that requirement back up. -- rjbs
