As you might have seen from the 7.5.5 release and other efforts, we're trying to be compatible. But Windows is a particular case: as we're shipping it as a binary with Perl bundled up, we don't provide libraries for all versions. We don't expect users to be running from the source on Windows. And as you said: it's not a real problem if this is based on an outdated Perl version. But if you're the adventurous or interested guy who wants to run latest code, we no longer consider you a "normal" user. We would expect you to be willing and able to run a different Perl, because it's not really an issue to do so. Up to you :-). We will move to a more recent Perl version at some point. But it's no priority right now. -- Michael _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
