"not fixable" is a bit too strong IMO; there won't be a "fix" on the perl side in Debian but there are other options: > I will attempt to let the sql-ledger developer know of the situation > though I am not a subscriber to their forum. Having sql-leder work with perl 5.26 by making changes upstream would be the best way forward. Fixing the code yourself is another option. And then it's also possible to fix the packaged (currently rather old) version of sql-ledger in debian (which would need a new maintainer first as the package is oprhaned -- but I already heard of a person interested in the task), then you could switch to the debian version. > Can you confirm that perl 5.26 is being applied on all OS - windows, > mac & linux? It exists on all platforms; if it's installed probably depends on the (packaging system of in the absence thereof on the) local admin. > Is it possible to have both perl 5.24 and 5.26 running on the same > linux system? No, at least under Debian and derivatives. But debian stable contains 5.24 and will be supported for another couple of years; the problems you are facing come from running testing where you got all the shiny new developments early :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at/ - Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member of VIBE!AT & SPI, fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe `-
