Apple's Mac OS X Update Breaks Perl

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the how-will-i-regex-now dept.

mir writes "It looks like if you use CPAN to install modules, Apple's latest security update might just have broken your Perl. According to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa 'The Security Update brings (old) IO.bundle with version 1.22 but your IO.pm has been updated to the latest 1.23 on CPAN shell. (But hey, 1.23 was released in 2006...Why do you bring that ancient version back, Apple!?)'."

    I though people stopped using Perl after they left college and the Drugs left their systems, and the current lower enrollment of CS students made sure this was under control.

    Sorry Perl and Me never meshed. More of a Python Fan.
