Although ActivePerl 5.6.1 does have some changes over the CPAN perl-5.6.1, from what I gather from mine and other's experiences, there's still problems with ActivePerl-5.6.1 and mod_perl-2 (for example, when I run the mp2 tests on 5.6.1, often all memory gets used up, but it's fine with 5.8). However, it's not necessary to have 5.8 to build mp2 - 5.6.1 is OK at this level. But perhaps a warning at the Makefile.PL stage could be given if Win32 and 5.6.1 are used, saying an upgrade to 5.8 is recommended for mp2? As well as suitable warnings in the docs? -- best regards, randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
