PERL 5.8.0 and 5.8.7

[wilfried]

I am moving server and one of my script is now running with errors.

The one major difference between the two servers is PERL version.
5.8.0 on the old one, 5.8.7 on the new one.

Is there any major changes between the two?

The error I get is this:
line sequence' trapped by operation mask at (eval 3) line 1.

The script dev is no longer working on it so I am lost

Is there anyway to dowgrade to 5.8.0? Is that safe?

THANKS

see the perl.org site, or use perldelta at http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.7/pod/perl587delta.pod too find out what has changed.

http://dev.perl.org/perl5/ shows quite a few changes between versions.

You could do it... as long as you change any dependancies.
