Subject: [PATCH] mention required Perl version in INSTALL
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 19:13:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080830171312.GE7185@schiele.dyndns.org> (raw)
We use syntax in some places that is only supported on Perl 5.8 or
later. One example for this is the list form of the open command in
combination with pipes in git-add--interactive.perl:
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
