I think this, or a better written version of this should be distributed via your local Perl Mongers. thanks Gabor ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabor Szabo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 9:21 AM Subject: 5.8.9 RC1 is out, please test your code with it! To: Perl in Israel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Jerusalem Perl Mongers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I know about several companies that cannot move from 5.6 to 5.8 or to 5.10 as their code does not run there. Some of them complain how horrible it is that perl has changed and something was removed from it that is causing them the problem. I think the main problem is that these companies while rely on Perl they don't exercise their right the fact Perl is Open Source gives them. If Perl is important for them the can and should check if some change in perl is going to cause them trouble. The best would be of course to follow the development of the interpreter but if they cannot do that at least they should check if the Release Candidates meet their needs. So If you are using perl 5.8.x, you should go ahead, download RC1 of 5.8.9 and check if your code works on it.
