you talk nonsence. Archive::Zip *is* pure-perl. I do not care if it depends on XS. I can make it more: Cwd is XS module, and a whole bunch depend on it. So - what follows it - prohibit anything that uses Cwd? > Archive::Zip mandatorily requires XS Compress::Raw::Zlib, > Archive::Extract falls back to use system binaries - unzip - > if a supporting XS is not found. > Archive::Extract is easily installed in on a legacy system > without compiler. this argumentation not convincing me a little bit. However, it is not interesting for me to participate in this discussion. What I see - there is some naive idea, someone on the Internet wants to waste his efforts by supporting obsoleted version of Perl. I shared my opinion, but - more than that - I actually do not care, namely because these are obsoleted version of Perl. I need robust Unicode. nevertheless, with all the deep respect and regards, Vadim.
