Errrrrm... I don't think that the Qt module written in 1997 would support Qt 3 :) Actually, from the module's README file: This release, PerlQt 0.03, is distributed under the LGPL and requires Qt-1.1 and Perl 5.004 (or a beta version). I have only successfully compiled PerlQt myself on my own RedHat Linux 4.0 system with a 2.0.28 kernel, running Perl-5.00390, which is a beta-release of Perl-5.004. I really don't think anyone ought to worry about backwards compatibility with the Qt module currently on CPAN :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This would easier understand fewer had omitted.
