Preferably yes, because you will be able to support newer versions of perl with less chance of failure I myself try to keep Devel::PPPort generated files really up-to-date for all my XS modules. If you do have XS modules, $ perl -MDevel::PPPort -e'Devel::PPPort::WriteFile ("ppport.h")' $ perl ppport.h --compat-version=5.8.1 -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using & porting perl 5.6.2, 5.8.x, 5.10.x, 5.11.x on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, 11.23, and 11.31, OpenSuSE 10.3, 11.0, and 11.1, AIX 5.2 and 5.3. http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
