Re: SimpleServer.xs:54: error: parse error before "simpleserver_mutex"

Dear Mike,

It's Perl version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris.
Is this version too old?

I've not seen this for myself, but it looks as though the
macros that
SimpleServer expects to have been defined by the Perl header
files are
not present.  The only reason I can imagine for this is that
you have
a very old version of Perl.  What version is it?

It's pretty darned old!  According to the Perl history
records at:
	htt
p://search.cpan.org/dist/perl/pod/perlhist.pod
version 5.005_03 was released in March 1999 ... nine years
ago.

So, yes, I think you should upgrade to a reasonably modern
Perl.  I
would think anything from 5.8.0 upwards (July 2002) should
be fine.
