With current blead (5.9.5) I get now the same number of failing tests as with 5.8 ../lib/Net/Ping/t/500_ping_icmp.t 2 1 50.00% 2 being the only leftover. How should we name it so that users can experiment with that? Side-by-side to perl-5.8.8 I would suggest perl5.9-5.9.5-1. And when perl5.10 comes out as perl-5.10-1, the development version can switch to perl5.11-5.11-1. I couldn't find similar cases ion any distro. They just allow perl-5.9.4 besides perl-5.8.8. perl-devel seems to be misleading, maybe perl-exp or perl-experimental. I also enabled -DDEBUGGING, esp. for the new regex engine. I don't think people want 5.9 to use for the enhanced speed, mainly to test the new perl6 and regex features for the upcoming 5.10. For 5.9 I also added libxml to vendor, not only expat. And I pulled in all CPAN and CPAN::Reporter dependencies. Originally I wanted to get the vendor libs smaller, but a current CPAN is really important, and CPAN::Reporter also. -- Reini
