[Bricolage-Devel] required perl version

I'm trying to setup a devel install of Bric out of CVS, and have run into
this:

[root@web1 bricolage_cvs]# ./configure
checking for user "nobody"... yes
checking for group "nobody"... yes
checking if apache is wanted... yes
checking for httpd... /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
checking for apache-perl... (cached) /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
checking for apache... (cached) /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
checking apache version >= 1.3.12... yes
checking apache modules... not found
checking for pg_config... /usr/bin/pg_config
checking postgres version >= 7.1.3... yes
checking if postgres was compiled with UNICODE support... yes
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking perl version >= 5.6.1... no
configure: error: perl version is 5.6.0

Does Bricolage really require 5.6.1? Why?

j/c .. if I don't have to upgrade perl, I'd like to leave it alone.

Abe

Actually, no. It requires 5.6.0 (though we strongly recommend 5.6.1
because it has a lot of bug fixes!). Mark, would you change the
requirement to 5.6.0?

Thanks,

David

Are you sure David? I seem to remember one of our required modules
segfaulting on "make test" with 5.6.0. Have we ever tested with 5.6.1?

I assume you meant 5.6.0. I don't recall anything segfaulting, but that
doesnt' mean it didn't happen. I mean, Carp was broken in 5.6.0, so some
of the exceptions would segfault, but that just made the exceptions
display rather meaningless information when debugging. But there could
be more.

Testing welcome.
