Well, It's at least in 5.10.1 which dates from 3 years ago. I suspect
it's probably in 5.10.0 which dates from about 5 years ago. I guess this
is the danger of developing on modern systems :-) How old is the
compiler you use for everyday work?
I intentionally use oldest-supported-versions of tools on my HPPA box,
to keep us honest on that front. It's running gcc 2.95.3, since you
asked, but that's not too relevant to the immediate question: what do
we consider our oldest supported version of Perl? If we decide it's
not 5.8, I'll reinstall that ... but allowing \h seems a pretty lame
excuse for ratcheting up a whole major release series.
Sure. I think 5.8.x should be fine. 5.8.1 looks like our minimum to
build plperl:
./pl/plperl/plc_perlboot.pl:use 5.008001;
