Compilation Issues

Compatibility

The examples have been extensively tested on the following platforms:

Please see the Windows page in the main manual for information on using the examples on Windows.

Due to wide variations in the Perl C API and differences between versions such as the ActivePerl release for Windows, the code generated by SWIG is extremely messy. We have made every attempt to maintain compatibility with many Perl releases going as far back as 5.003 and as recent as 5.6. However, your mileage may vary. If you experience a problem, please let us know by contacting us on the mailing lists. Better yet, send us a patch.
