Job fails if Perl 5.10 used on Windows XP
« on: May 22, 2008, 12:32:26 AM »
Issue: Qube as of version 5.3 supports Perl 5.6 and 5.8 on Windows XP.  Perl 5.10 is not supported at this time.

Symtom:
Job fails with the following text starting in the "Stdout Panel".  Note that perl version 5.001 actually refers to Perl 5.10.

This is perl, version 5.001

INFO: loaded qb module and setup assignment.

Solution:
Install and use Perl 5.8.  Adding Perl 5.10 support is marked down as a feature to add in upcoming versions of Qube.
