[Arsperl-users] ars_APIVersion - wrong returns?

[Georg G. <ggr...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm playing around with what ars_APIVersion returns, because in our company
it's likely that they want to exclude too old api versions.

Now, I compiled ARSPerl against a 7.0.1 ARS Lib - which works nicely.

I edited the Makefile.PL a little, and now wanted to ask - how do you
determine the API Version?
I've looked at the Makefile.PL, which can output the Version (by reading the
ar.h), which works pretty nice.
What's overlooked: serverReleaseFromAPIVersion is missing 7.0 => 12
(currently, all 7.0 have the api version 12, 7.1 has 13).

Enabling the checks for the api version in the Makefile.PL returns
ars_APIVersion: 9

What's the reason ARSPerl returns "9" in this case, when I have the ars libs
with version 12, and even the Makefile.PL recognizes i've got a version 12?

Seems like a little bug, and I'd appreciate any advice how to fix that. I
looked trough the code, but couldn't seem to find the position where the ARS
API Version is set (?).

Do you receive that wrong value from the compiled libraries? Maybe, there's
a little mistake done by BMC releasing those unix libs?

Thanks,
Georg
