What's the ETA for the updated module > to major distros? To be honest, I have *no* idea. I think Debian is stabilizing Trixie now, so maybe it's in the one that will be after that (in 2 years?). You could however decide to support XOAUTH2 and OAUTHBEARER only when they are available? Then you don't need to increase the minimum library requirement: there's no API difference between 2.1700 (the current version until today) and 2.1800 (the newly released version). So if you were to probe existence of Authen::SASL::Perl::XOAUTH2 and/or Authen::SASL::Perl::OAUTHBEARER, you could conditionally disable the feature if the probe fails. (Using "eval { require Authen::SASL::Perl::XOAUTH2; 1 }" should do what you need: return false if the probe fails; true if it succeeds.) -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.
