All,
OK this probably is in the code (if not the manual), but I've a new error from P::C. Three-argument form of open used at line 351, column 4. Three-argument open is not available until perl 5.6. I really need to sharpen my CPAN skills, and really I appreciate all the kind responses today. I hope these questions make sense (because maybe I've learned something today). ;} 1. I should have perl set to a minimum version, shouldn't I? What's the best way to do that? (Makefile?) 2. Does the applicable P::C::Policy take the prereq'd version into account? 3. Another path might be to turn off both 2-parm and 3-parm P::C::Policies, and then code a: if ( perl_min_version ) 3_parm_away else 2_parm_that_bad_boy. Funny thing is, I haven't really updated my file writing primitives in .. a decade? (Ouch) Any advice appreciated! :} Thanks!
