9.02.156 and Perl

[vefatica]

I have Perl 5.10. ANd I updated TCC v9 as soon as you announced.

The command "ECHO %@PERL[print abc]" works with TCC v10.

The same command makes TCC v9 disappear.

Confirmed.

I have Perl 5.10. ANd I updated TCC v9 as soon as you announced.

The command "ECHO %@PERL[print abc]" works with TCC v10.

First, that Perl statement is invalid and will always return an error.

Second, make sure your PATH is set to point to Perl 5.8 for v9; if it's
pointing to Perl 5.10 it will definitely crash. (The Perl APIs changed
between 5.8 and 5.10.)

I meant to put quotes around abc (that wasn't a copy/paste); with such quotes it
works. Without them it silently does nothing (v10).

I understood you to say that the initially posted 9.02.156 used Perl 5.10 (what
was the re-upload all about?). I don't have Perl 5.8 on my new computer, only
5.10.

The reupload was to change the Perl linkage back to 5.8.
