Can we have an older perl, say, perl-5.0.16? works for my stuff mostly unchanged,
I can't get many cpan things to work with current perl. Things like Term::Size::chars no longer works as it says chars isn't exported. but it is 'EXPORT_OK', and it used to work. Too many things break on cpan on new perls....seems like building CPAN should be part of the perl test suite or if they won't fix a module in CPAN or won't fix perl to keep a compatibility mode then the module gets kicked out of CPAN -- and Perl doesn't get released until all modules remaining in CPAN work. Meanwhile....we had a 5.18 for a while, and that worked...but the new stuff. I can't pull new versions from CPAN and expect anything to work... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
