[rt-users] Preferred Perl version for 4.0.x?

[Steve Sisak]

Does anyone know what version of Perl RT 4.x prefers?

I worked out a good recipe for installing RT 3.x on Mac OS X Server 
10.6 which involved giving RT it's own copy of perl 5.8.9, built 
exactly the way RT wants.

RT 3.x won't compile on Perl 5.12 and wants Perl built 
single-threaded and with other special options -- giving RT a private 
Perl install to chew on works fine, however. The RT docs don't seem 
to have been updated in a long time.

Lion Server ships with 5.12.3, but running CPAN on Apple's default 
Perl install can leave your server non-functional with no way to get 
back w/o reinstalling the OS.

I'm about to build a new server based on 10.7 (Lion) and plan on 
bringing up a fresh RT instance -- since I'm giving RT a private 
Perl, would like to give it exactly what it wants.

If anyone wants it, I'll post the recipe once I get the server back on line.

Thanks,

-Steve
