[Boston.pm] Perl 5.8 Extensions

[Charles Reitzel]

Hi All,

I have a nifty little SWIG Perl extension that builds, tests, and installs fine w/ Perl 5.6 on Win32 and Linux.

http://users.rcn.com/creitzel/tidy.html#tidyperl

I have a user trying to install it w/ Perl 5.8 and is getting runtime problems. I.e. "make test" passes all tests OK, and the install apparently works, but when he goes to actually use it he gets runtime errors, "Autoload wanted to find new.al". Now, my extension just uses one .pm and one .so file and no .al files at all.

Has anyone seen something like this before? Are 5.6 extensions generally compatible w/ 5.8. As you can see, I am a "late" adopter. 5.6.1 is fine for me <g>.

Thanks for any pointers,
Charlie
