Hi All,

We looking to migrate our Queue Manager from MQ v 7.5 to MQ v 8.0, There is an in house application which is written in perl connecting through mq client. I want to confirm if it will be compatible with MQ v8.0.

Thanks
Ankur

What's wrong with confirming by testing the application against MQ V8.0 and finding out?

No-one without access to your application, environment, and test infrastructure can confirm compatibility.

CPAN lists the module as last updated in 2012..
http://search.cpan.org/~mqseries/MQSeries-1.34/

I'm sure that the maintainers would be happy to accept enhancements and bugfixes.

I can't go on with testing because I need to provide an estimation of man days for upgrading the environment. and in case the perl module won't work they will back out and it will effect the estimate.

Do an estimate for a POC with the perl module.

Do a second estimate for the work of migration after that.

Circular argument - you need to know whether it will work before you can give an estimate, so you should be asking for a POC at least. If the POC fails, and the failure cannot be fixed, then there's no point upgrading the environment. Time spent in POC can save a lot more in upgrading, failing, and backing out.
