I've got nothing against combining a few important bits from Config and others, but please no MD5 hashing ;-( I'd rather use the perl way: perl -V:archname i686-linux-perlio otherperl -V:archname i686-linux-thread-multi-perlio The difference is obvious, as opposed to this: "error. binary incompatibility detected with 4648526406e458418670b4360eea66e0 vs 52daab6784de496a3c123fa1b3b442b8, please fix this!" "error. binary incompatibility detected with i686-linux-perlio vs i686-linux-thread-multi-perlio please fix this!" But I've tried before and it's quite tricky to get the exact right combination of $Config, USE_LARGE_FILES, etc that will guarantee binary compatibility. But I do agree we should be trying as hard as possible ;-) > --Geoff > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philippe M.
