Possibly. Though I've had emails from people thanking me for saying this since, they say, that's the only way their employers will be pushed into upgrading their perl. Note that I said "officially support" not "will no longer work with". I could no longer "officially support" perl 5.6 but that doesn't mean it won't work with perl 5.6 :) But since no one pays me for "official support" of the DBI it doesn't make much difference ;-) Tim. > Regards, > > JEff > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Bunce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 7:03 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Future versions of DBI to require perl >= 5.8 > > FYI I'm planning on making the next release (1.51) be the last that > officially supports perl 5.6. > > This is partly to make it easier to implement changes in future > releases that improve performance with threaded perls.
