Perl
Chapter 10
150
The Perl binary is now built with the vendor installation directory option enabled. This
allows users to package any non-core perl modules into the vendor_perl directory
available under /opt/perl_32/lib and /opt/perl_64/lib for 32-bit and 64-bit Perl
respectively.
Perl is also built linked to libcl to help in building DBI and DBD::Oracle modules.
Impact
There are no impacts other than those described previously.
Compatibility
Perl 5.8 is not binary compatible with earlier releases of Perl for XS modules. These
modules have to recompiled. (Pure Perl modules should continue to work.) The major
reason for the discontinuity is the new IO architecture called PerlIO. PerlIO is the
default configuration because without it, many new features of Perl 5.8 cannot be used.
In other words, you just have to recompile your modules containing XS code.
Performance
There are no known performance issues.
