Subject: Support 5.8.5
In order to install it on centos with 5.8.4/5.8.5 you need to disable the wrong use ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.30 check => use ExtUtils::MakeMake; Without this fix Sub::Exporter does not install aso. $ perl5.8.5 Makefile.PL WARNING: LICENSE is not a known parameter. Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good 'LICENSE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name. Writing Makefile for Data::OptList make test and install all work okay.
I think this is less "support 5.8.5" and "support 5.8.8 with its initial toolchain, rather than a recent version of CPAN.pm." That is: I am assuming the problem here is that the distro in question does not have EUMM 6.30, and the CPAN.pm installing it (if any) is not new enough to understand configure_requires. So: this code should work correctly on 5.8.5, but wants to be installed by an EUMM no more than eight years old. Does that correctly summarize the situation? (I want to be sure that this isn't a case of "EUMM 6.30 will not run on 5.8.5, period.") -- rjbs
