Re: [Gprename-users] [SOLVED] Re: gprename-20220807 cannot be started w/o root permissions: DynaLoader.pm

[Rüdiger A. <rue...@gm...>]

Sounds reasonable, but why does it work out of the box on both Debian
stable and OpenSuse Leap?

Don't know whether it matters or not:
Leap comes with Perl 5.26.1, and its DynaLoader.pm also contains
"&$xs(@args);" (line 210).

Cheers
