I don't think so. As you point out > yourself you can just compile 5.8 or later on these machines. 5.8 as minimum is probably for the best. It's not that just you can compile a newer version (5.8), more importantly, Perl 5.8 is available as a package from those semi-official 3party repositories for most systems (at least the *nix systems I have access to), except for those like Irix 6.2 where it's hopeless anyway (perl 5.0). But I only have access to irix/aix/solaris/tru64 in addition to Linux. -Tor -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
