Perl 5.8.0/Slash CVS/Mod_Perl 1.27/Apache 1.3.26/FreeBSD
Ok, I did something kind of stupid. I decided to, as soon as it was released yesterday, update my server with Perl 5.8.0.
So, I downloaded the source, compiled, installed, and the problems began. Lots of problems. Libraries not installed correctly and things that used to compile didn't. It was a mess.
I actually ended up using CPAN to install Perl 5.8.0, and that seemed to fix a lot of the problems. A lot of libraries didn't work. Most notable was GD Library 1.40 and Template Toolkit. Both those would fail during make tests.
I actually ended up NOT doing make tests on them and just installing them. They seem to be working, and my slash site is up. But it was a real pain. I don't notice much speed difference though......:-(
Current config: FreeBSD 4.6 (CVS), Perl 5.8.0, Apache 1.3.26, Mod_Perl 1.27, and Mod_Gzip.
