An non profit organization I'm working with is considering a web hosting company that offers perl 5.04 and CGI 2.4.9. They are also considering using the box that the university lets me administer for non-profit use. My box is running Perl 5.6.1
A few months ago, I moved to 5.6.1 because the scripts I wrote in ActiveState puked on Debian potato / perl 5.04. I did stuff like use our instead of my and use warnings instead of /usr/bin/perl -w
I've read through the perldelta docs and there doesn't seem like working in two versions of perl would hurt too badly. I'm smarter than I was a few months ago :->
Am I missing something?
btw, my feelings aren't hurt at the prospect of rejection. I offer some nice stuff, but my deal depends entirely on me and my handshake with some folks in the University. If I get hit by a beer truck, my co-workers can probably help people move to another setup, but things will be a little tense.
