While running 'perl Configure.pl' last night, I got the following
warning:
Loading platform and local hints files...Argument "8.8.0" isn't
numeric in numeric ge (>=) at config/init/hints/darwin.pm line 19.
.............................done.
Here is the offending code in config/init/hints/darwin.pm
my $OSVers = `uname -r`;
chomp $OSVers;
{
local $^W;
if ($OSVers >= 7) { # <---- line 19
$libs =~ s/-ldl//;
}
}
Here is the output of 'uname -r'
[parrot] 522 $ uname -r
8.8.0
The old 3-level version number problem. I know we've dealt with this in
Perl, so I assume someone can patch this for Parrot.
