Perl 5.8 status?


Erm... Could anyone update us on the status of Perl 5.8?

It is working fine for me, with the minor annoyance of having to keep remembering to "Keep" the package while running Setup, because it offers to replace 5.8 with 5.6 every time... :)

R.

Hallo Linda,


5.8? Is that available in cygwin-x86?


As a test version. It will show in the click through list, but hasn't yet been promoted to curr, so presumably there are a few buglets left.


Ah...cool! Maybe will have to try an early edition assuming I can
find a semi-fast mirror that carries the test versions.

Should be available from any mirror.

Make a backup from libperl5.6.1.dll since some other executables
in the cygwin netrelease are linked against it (e.g. exim).


Regards,

Gerrit
