Mon 19 Jun 2023 10:58:25 AM UTC, original submission: Probably by the time groff 1.24 releases, Solaris 10 will be dead. So we could undo this: 2018-12-08 Deri James <deri@chuzzlewit.myzen.co.uk> Problem running gropdf on big endian (Sparc) * src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: Prior to perl v5.9 the 'L<' template for 'unpack' was unavailable. Solaris 10 uses v5.8.4 so safer to use the template 'V' rather than 'L<'. We could then officially bump the minimum required Perl version up to 5.9. Currently we say we can manage with 5.6.1 (INSTALL.extra).	G. Branden Robinson <gbranden>
