This forum's host is running 5.8.8. Plus I can change the shebang and access Perl 5.14.4 at '/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl'

YaBBForum is running Perl 5.12.4

I know some things have been deprecated between 5.16 and 5.22 so I'll check to see if 5.22 supports some of the Modules I need for my testbed so I can see what warnings it throws.



These are just some examples from errorlog.txt:

Some warnings don't cause croak, but make some features no-op, like viewing IMs and adding or editing attachments.

Edited:
Just installed Activestate Perl 5.22.1 on my testbed. Aside from some deprecated regex issues I already knew about, YaBB 2.6.11 and YaBB 2.7.x work fine under ActivePerl 5.22.1. Therefore I suspect the problems you are seeing with Perl 5.10.1 has to do with some sort of security protocols. You don't say what server errors there are. The server errors will tell you if it's a deprecated code issue. I also cannot reproduce the @ARG in RSS.pm error with WinApache 2.22.2 on a Win7 machine. So I'm tending towards thinking this is a Win/IIS issue that I cannot test.

So long as c-Panel ships with Perl 5.08, that's our oldest supported Perl. I know YaBB 2.52 through 2.6+ work on Perl 5.18 but there may be a deprecation problem with RSS.pm with Perl 5.2+ (Luckily the problem appears to be in section that can be safely removed as RSS.pm will never call it.)

The problems with older versions of YaBB is mostly deprecated code, very old html and very old javascript.


Cpanel says Perl version is 5.10.1, but YaBB 2.6.11 fails when it starts loading Path.pm... I tracked down the main problem and that is uninitialized variables do not default to numeric zero anymore, so a lot of code that assumes it can use uninitialized variables stopped working. Another problem is that chomping file handles that are explicitly cast as arrays is not supported anymore... If I use push inside readline loop, chomp works without giving warning.

What is going to be the minimum and maximum supported version of Perl as recently on one of forums I help with I noticed old YaBB stopped loading completely because of breaking API changes...
