I guess Gentoo devs don't think a move to 5.10 is smart just yet. I haven't felt an urgent need for it either... although I did install it once maybe a yr or so ago... to try something... I've forgotten what now, and later removed it so I could just go with the emerge program that gentoo uses to install things. > Imho the "use feature..." stuff was introduced in 5.10, and removing it > shouldn't be too much work. > Would you mind installing Archive::Extract, Config::General and > File::Fetch (which is included in perl 5.10), or is it an absolute no-go? If the `use feature' is really just so you can use `say' instead of `print'. Then I wouldn't mind that minor edit job myself. But if it's much more complicated... I'd probably pass. Installing the other packages is fine ... getting some organization into the handling of plugins is worth some effort. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
