No, this definitely has never been considered. Since 3.3.0 the SA team dropped /official/ support for Perl 5.6. That means, we do not guarantee it will continue to work with 5.6, which it currently does. We are even open to get Perl 5.6 specific patches in, if provided by the community. However, we are unlikely to fix any issues with 5.6 ourself. The discussion and decision to drop official Perl 5.6 support was hard enough already. -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu...@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
