#5 not working on solaris

[Anonymous]

Hi. I'm using solaris with perl 5.004_04. when I run
dailystrips, I get the following error:

Sequence (?<...) not recognized at ././dailystrips line 979.

Afraid that I can't really be of any greater help since
I don't know perl. But I thought I would submit this
since that line seems to contain the <code:> thing
you mention in the changelog.

this is a local install... dailystrip is in ~/bin and
strips.def in ~/share/dailystrips

thanks,
brian

This appears to be associated with the bit of code that
handles <code:> statements in the definitions file - that
is, relatively critical. I have not verified this by
checking Perl 5.0 documentation, but the regular expression
construct involved is probably not available/supported in
Perl 5.0. I will check the 5.0 documentation as soon as
possible to see if there is any way to do what is necessary
in a 5.0-compatible manner, but it looks like upgrading to
Perl 5.6 would be the quickest solution.
