Thanks for your response. Version strings are not covered/documented in any of my programming Perl books so no wonder I couldn't find any information about them. It's time to get the latest Perl book!	[reply]

It's time to get the latest Perl book! AFAICT, they first showed up in the 3rd Edition Camel as "V-String Literals" and in the 4th ed as "Version Literals". And by the way, welcome to the Monastery!	[reply]

Version strings are not covered/documented in any of my programming Perl books .. I have the fourth edition of the Camel (February 2012), and v-string is defined on page 1080. :) Alex / talexb / Toronto Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.	[reply]
