Future Deprecations ^
Platforms without support infrastructure
Both Windows CE and z/OS have been historically under-maintained, and are
currently neither successfully building nor regularly being smoke tested.
Efforts are underway to change this situation, but it should not be taken for
granted that the platforms are safe and supported. If they do not become
buildable and regularly smoked, support for them may be actively removed in
future releases. If you have an interest in these platforms and you can lend
your time, expertise, or hardware to help support these platforms, please let
the perl development effort know by emailing [email protected].
Alas. If the build were easier, the testing would be trivial.
I hate EBCDIC!
