Re: Plperl Safe version check fails for Safe 2.09

Could be a rounding issue. What happens if you try this instead:?
  eval_pv((safe_version <= 2.08 ? safe_bad : safe_ok), FALSE);

Alternatively, what happens if we make safe_version a double rather than 
a float?

(If nothing else works we might have to fall back on a lexical comparison)

cheers
