Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 01:27:58 UTC


---- Reported by gmcharlt@gmail.com 2010-05-14 13:14:02 ----

The minimum version of Perl required by Koha is marked as 5.6.1.  Since MARC::Record requires at least 5.8.2, the requirement should be bumped up at least that far, and bumping it up to 5.8.8 (the current stable version in the 5.8.x series) makes sense.

At least two files would need to be changed:
Makefile.PL
installer/install.pl
