Need place for "how to build old versions of perl on new platform versions" #9352
Comments
From david@kineticode.comperlbug, This is a bug report for perl from david@kineticode.com, I tried to build 5.6.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.2 with this configuration: sh Configure -des -Duseshrplib -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl-5.6.2 It failed during `make` with these errors: YLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/src/perl-5.6.2 cc -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl \ Making DynaLoader (static) When I tried again without -Duseshrplib, the build succeeded (hence the Flags: Site configuration information for perl v5.6.2: Configured by david at Thu May 1 17:46:47 PDT 2008.

From @timbunce"To blead" I presume. There's no need, perl >= 5.8.9 works fine. We probably ought to have a well defined place to record details of Tim. On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 08:07:21AM +0900, David E. Wheeler wrote:
