Hi Tim,

        Nice :-)

Which leads to the question: what is the minimum version of Perl we
can rely on in LibreOffice?  Currently configure.in checks for Perl 5,

        I poked Fridrich, the oracle on this sort of thing - wrt. our old
build-systems. On windows we have perl 5.10 but on Linux 5.8.8 ( we have
an artificially old Linux machine to produce forward-compatible builds).

Would it be reasonable to bump the configure.in check to look for Perl
5.10, for now?  I might try to replace the macro with one from the
autoconf archive:

        So I guess 5.8 is a sensible baseline ? or does that loose us some
things we really want ?

        ATB,

                Michael.
