In searching for previous versions of perl, Configure
forgets to sort the directories according to version number,
so 5.10 sorts later than 5.8.
Specifically, without this patch, you'd get something like:
inc_version_list='5.8.9 5.8.8 5.10.0/i686-linux 5.10.0'
i.e. 5.10.0 would be searched *after* 5.8.8.
With this patch, you get something like:
inc_version_list='5.10.0/i686-linux 5.10.0 5.8.9 5.8.8'
chdir($stem);
;@candidates = map {
[ $_, pack "sss", split m/[._]/, "$_.0.0" ] } glob("5.*");
+ ;@candidates = sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1]} @candidates;
}
else {
;@candidates = ();
