[freeside-users] Perl error

[Dave Burgess]

Just to echo Ivan's comments, at one point I had FreeSide running on NetBSD, so I doubt the subtle differences between Ubuntu and Debian are the source of the problem.

All production versions of perl 5.8.4 and later are supported/compatible.

On Ubuntu, folks with advanced sysadmin and Perl stack experience have 
certianly gotten the software running.

Debian is the most popular OS for running Freeside, and the one which we 
support with a full set of tested, packaged prerequisites (and soon 
Freeside packages too).  Debian OS releases now have five years of 
support (like Ubuntu LTS).

If the community would like better support for Ubuntu, please step up 
and contribute (to Ubuntu-specific install documentation, to a 
repository of Perl library prerequisites, to making the Freeside .deb 
packages build and work on Ubuntu, etc.)

These are non-fatal warnings, not fatal errors.  Unless there is 
specific relevance to something broken in the software, I would not 
worry about warnings.
