It depends upon which portion of Orca you are referring to.

Most of the Perl modules that Orca requires are C code Perl modules
(Data::Dumper, Devel::DProf, Digest::MD5, RRDs, Storable, Time::HiRes).

If you are sharing your Perl installation between OS versions then
you should be compiling and installing them on the oldest OS you have.

The Orca program itself is pure Perl, so there's no issue there.

Best,
Blair
