Maybe Kevin can take a look at this? I'm not sure we can (or should) get this fixed for v1.4.1, but definitely for v1.9. I plan to finish v1.4.1 any time now (really...), and then pick up v1.9 again. First thing on the agenda for v1.9 is to do a developers release, like v1.9.2 or something. We'll post to the mozilla.directory News group/mailing list about progress. Thanks a lot for the bug report, much appreciated. (Kevin, if this is a bug, can you file a bug in Mozilla and assign it to yourself, or me).

Doh! Yup, looks like an incompatibility. The na variable is a "don't care" variable, usually used to stuff the length of a string in an SvPV operation. They probably just changed the name of this. (hopefully). Easy fix is to just find the new variable name. Hard fix is to find the variable that works in 5.6 and 5.004/5! I'll file a bug. -Kevin

Workaround is: perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1 The internal variables changed: sv_undef => PL_sv_undef na => PL_na The new variables are only available in Perl 5.004_05 and later. Need to decide whether it's okay to leave the older versions in the dust or not.

*** Bug 40148 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Whoops - forgot to close the bug. I patched 1.4.1 Makefile.PL to add the POLLUTE=1 option automatically. 1.9 has been changed to use the new internal variables.
