Doesn't work on Perl 5?
by bpleat@gmail.com, June 30, 2022

This doesn't seem to work on my box, running Perl 5.32.1. I don't know Perl well enough to fix. Here's the run and log: ./nagiosAck.pl -r --test given is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 597. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 598. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 601. given is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 638. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 639. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 640. given is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 694. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 695. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 696. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 697. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 698. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 699. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 700. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 701. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 702. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 703. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 704. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 705. given is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 736. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 737. when is experimental at ./nagiosAck.pl line 738. Experimental keys on scalar is now forbidden at ./nagiosAck.pl line 430. Type of arg 1 to keys must be hash or array (not private variable) at ./nagiosAck.pl line 430, near "$service) " Execution of ./nagiosAck.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
