I have not run into what you describe specifically. But I have had a variety of odd and other issues that stem from Perl updates, either to perl itself and/or modules. Going back to December 2014. Prior to that, and having been running ASSP 3972 hours as of today. I have never had issues with ASSP or Perl as I have in the last 6+ months. > Would an update to Perl resolve some of these weird issues? In my case since updates did cause things to break, like forcing me to switch to ASSP v2 from v1 due to changes in Perl, not modules. However since then I have still had a variety of issues. I have recompiled and reinstalled perl and all modules more than once. Sometimes seems to help, but not sure if it is really fixing the problem, or just making me feel better. That was when I upgraded from Perl 5.12.4 to 5.18.2 on 11/30/2014. Recompiled that and all perl modules on 12/5/2014. Upgraded to 5.20.1 on 1/26/2015. Then to 5.20.2 on 2/22/2015. Recompiled that due to a Gentoo update on 5/17/2015. I have rebuild all modules a few times in that period. > The concern I have > is if I update Perl, what version should I update to that would not > cause too many issues, and what I mean by that is concerned about > breaking modules in ASSP. No clue that is anyones guess, only one way to find out really. Just make backups in case you need to revert. > Anyone running a newer version of Perl? Yes, I am on 5.20.2, and ran versions in between that, and 5.12.4, 5.18.x versions. I never ran 5.16. > How difficult was it to update? I have ASSP running on Gentoo, so just did a regular routine update. Which I have re-done re-compiling and installing perl and all modules at least 4 or 5 times in the last 6 months. > I just want to plan for down time if this is > the way to go. I have to let my users know. I did not have any issues from updates immediately. Any issues came up later on as some oddity. If you update perl and have some issue, it should occur right away. Though if not you might have other issues down the road. That is hard to say, as I still experience some of them at times. But things have been good for a few weeks. However I did recompile and reinstall perl and all modules as of 6/22/2015. I am running ASSP v2.4.3(15959) since 4/14/2015. I had tried to run it a few times before but had to revert back to ASSP v2.4.3(15975) a couple times. Its been an interesting year with ASSP and Perl... I blame Perl more than ASSP, as again things were fine till November when I did a perl update, broke v1, and have been having odd issues with v2 since. I still cannot run the ScheduleCron module at all without it running away... -- William L.
