Hi, recently the perldoc kioslave saw a change that makes it work with Perl version 5.14. In that version, Perl drops support for a given/when implementation that was replaced by a much cleaner one with slightly different syntax. The new syntax was introduced in version 5.10.
While thinking about backporting the change to the 4.6 branch, we struggled a bit with the new dependency situation (does not work with Perl 5.8 anymore). While dropping support for Perl 5.8 does not seem to be that bad, it brought up a more general issue. The FindPerl module of CMake does not support versions. Lately the Perl 5 developers deperecated quite some stuff and introduced new features, which in my opinion leads to a need for version support in FindPerl. On the other hand, I am not a build system guy and cmake still is one part copy and paste and two parts trust in the magic for me. So I would like to ask you about your opinion. Is version support in FindPerl advisable? If yes, where could it be implemented? Upstream? Just for KDE?
