Yep. This turned out to be a righteous pain for me, since Sun
internally
only supports 5.003 (care to upgrade, Eric? :-) while the rest of the
world
moved onto 5.004+. That's why I made sure to keep the version number
under
the lib directory.
Alan, I believe all you have to do is to compile up the 5.004 libraries
and
stick them in the right place under the lib directory and all will work
fine.
I didn't do this because I was hearing some bug reports about problems
under
5.004 that I couldn'r reproduce under 5.003 so I was nervous about
releasing
it that way. If somebody would do some comprehensive testing, we could
move
forward with support for the newer versions of Perl.
