Subject: perl-5.8.9: undefined reference to `_SV_CHECK_THINKFIRST_COW_DROP'
Hi, I think this error, which I get when building File-Map-0.54 with perl-5.8.9, simply means that the minimum required perl version is now 5.010. Certainly, when I build File-Map-0.54 with 5.10.0 or later, there are no problems. Cheers, Rob

I had looked it up in advance and SV_CHECK_THINKFIRST_COW_DROP was added in August 2002, so I expected it to work on 5.8.1+. Digging a bit further, it seems it's only defined if PERL_COPY_ON_WRITE was defined first. Will release a workaround ASAP. Leon
