- *** Canary::Stability COMPATIBILITY AND SUPPORT CHECK
- *** =================================================
- ***
- *** Hi!
- ***
- *** I do my best to provide predictable and reliable software.
- ***
- *** However, in recent releases, P5P (who maintain perl) have been
- *** introducing regressions that are sometimes subtle and at other times
- *** catastrophic, often for personal preferences with little or no concern
- *** for existing code, most notably CPAN.
- ***
- *** For this reason, it has become very hard for me to maintain the level
- *** of reliability and support I have committed myself to in the past, at
- *** least with some perl versions: I simply can't keep up working around new
- *** bugs or gratituous incompatibilities, and in turn you might suffer from
- *** unanticipated problems.
- ***
- *** Therefore I have introduced a support and compatibility check, the results
- *** of which follow below, together with a FAQ and some recommendations.
- ***
- *** This check is just to let you know that there might be a risk, so you can
- *** make judgement calls on how to proceed - it will not keep the module from
- *** installing or working.
- ***
- *** The stability canary says: (nothing, it was driven away by harsh weather)
- ***
- *** It seems you are running perl version 5.026000, likely the "official" or
- *** "standard" version. While there is nothing wrong with doing that,
- *** standard perl versions 5.022 and up are not supported by JSON::XS.
- *** While this might be fatal, it might also be all right - if you run into
- *** problems, you might want to downgrade your perl or switch to the
- *** stability branch.
- ***
- *** If everything works fine, you can ignore this message.
- ***
- *** Stability canary mini-FAQ:
- ***
- *** Do I need to do anything?
- *** With luck, no. While some distributions are known to fail
- *** already, most should probably work. This message is here
- *** to alert you that your perl is not supported by JSON::XS,
- *** and if things go wrong, you either need to downgrade, or
- *** sidegrade to the stability variant of your perl version,
- *** or simply live with the consequences.
- ***
- *** What is this canary thing?
- *** It's purpose is to check support status of JSON::XS with
- *** respect to your perl version.
- ***
- *** What is this "stability branch"?
- *** It's a branch or fork of the official perl, by schmorp, to
- *** improve stability and compatibility with existing modules.
- ***
- *** How can I skip this prompt on automated installs?
- *** Set PERL_CANARY_STABILITY_NOPROMPT=1 in your environment.
- *** More info is in the Canary::Stability manpage.
