According to Erwin Lansing: > Indeed. Although I'll be the first to cheer when 5.005_03 finally > disappears, I don't think this is the way to force people to upgrade > their perl on 4.x. Maybe it is time to bite the bullet and finally decide we should retire 5.005_03 even on 4.x. The ports for 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 have been there for years, are able to replace the ancient perl we have w/o problem and far too many modules requires at least 5.6.x nowadays anyway. It is close to impossible to remove Perl from 4.x but we should push people to move away from it. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr Darwin snuadh.freenix.org Kernel Version 6.6: Thu May 1 21:48:54 PDT 2003
