Re: Module Proposal: Parse::Reversible

Do I change my code to use URI::Template, or release Parse::Reversible anyway, on the grounds that it does cover a slightly different area, even if in my case they're both usable.? I like the generality of Parse::Reversible. I've just done a similar thing for Perl::Version to enable it to modify version numbers but retain their formatting. I didn't have the sense to generalise it though. If you release your module I'd certainly consider modifying Perl::Version to use it. - -- Andy Armstrong, hexten.net -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGKhxwwoknRJZQnCERAs1MAJ43l/EfS6lbfj4HaZKMZEA1hjnMvACgp2GP OeUD4jPS24xRvv4YWGmjNYk= =PO+4 -END PGP SIGNATURE-
Testing with older Perls
I have a module that has use 5.008 because its never been tested (by me) on earlier versions. Not supprisingly it failed automatic testing on earlier versions on submission to CPAN. I'd like to fix this, but not so much that Im going to load up earlier versions. Are there test systems available to facilitate this sort of thing?

Yeah, and they're already trying to test it for you. =) Just take the use 5.008 out of the code and see what happens, it may well work, and if it doesn't, the error message is likely to be more informative than it is now. -Ken
