Perl Build History

This file, introduced in sbotools-4.1, has a list of first-build times for major perl versions in Slackware, sourced mostly from the Slackware Cumulative Archive. Slackware ARM and 32-bit Slackware have relatively limited coverage; if you have access to older packages for these architectures (or know where to find them), please consider contacting the maintainer.

Configuration Note

sbotools installs a default configuration file to /etc/sbotools/sbotools.conf. Although a sbotools.conf file generated by version 2.7 will be compatible, some of the options are new. Users may want to inspect sbotools.conf.new after building and installing a post-3.0 version for the first time.
