I've noticed that many Monk's tend to overlook that Perl is used by system and network administrators, systems engineers, biologists, and other less traditional developers.... And so, the next time someone asks a question about an older version of Perl, please keep in mind ....

Must be confirmation (or some such) bias :)

What is a really old version of perl?

One which isn't supported by perl5-porters, which ATM means anything below 5.14

So RHEL suports some antique version of perl -- great for them, they get MONEY for that.

If you want to give me MONEY I'll keep this in mind also

But you're not going to give me MONEY are you?

If you want consideration be nice and send money

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
