Gmail removed dancer users from email list :( ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lee Carmichael <leecarmichael123@gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 31, 2011 at 1:18 PM Subject: Re: [Dancer-users] Recent Build requirement breaks 5.8.x installs To: Alberto Simoes <ambs@perl-hackers.net> Hello, Pulling out the BUILD_REQUIRES entry with captures works just fine: Magic-box:Dancer-1.3051 root# diff orig.Makefile.PL Makefile.PL 39,40c39 < 'Test::More' => '0.94', < 'Tie::Hash::NamedCapture' => '0', ---
'Test::More' => '0.94'
Also, I noticed in the cpan shell, if I answer 'No' to prepending 'Tie::Hash::NamedCapture' the install works. Thanks, Lee On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 11:42 AM, Alberto Simoes <ambs@perl-hackers.net> wrote:
Lee, can I ask you to remove the line requiring that module from Makefile.PL and testing the module? I think it is there by mistake, but I do not have a 5.8.x perl to test here.
Thank you

Hello,
I was in the process of upgrading to Dancer 1.3051 on one machine that runs Perl 5.8 and it failed due to build requirement of 'Tie::Hash::NamedCapture'. This was added to Perl in 5.10. The main headache for me is that it broke the 'cpan install Dancer' command. But it didn't stop me from updating dancer by hand.
I hate to be the one asking for support on an dated language version but i guess i am :) Should I open a bug for this or is the forward direction of Dance away from 5.8?
We don't want to break compatibility with 5.8.x if we can possibly help it; we realise that there are plenty of users still stuck on 5.8.x, for whatever reason.
I'll take a look in to that and see where the requirement comes from, and see if we can work round it.
If we depend on it for certain features, such as being able to use captures() to get params by name, we should just throw a warning at runtime if we're on an older Perl, but let everything else still work.
