Wow, so your bringing my version of perl into question. I have found 3 versions of perl on our system, and perhaps ther are more, but I get three different responses to the -v option. When I run:

/apollo/env/fulfillmentCenter/var/apps/perl -v

I get

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for Linux-2.4c2.3-i686-64int

+

and when I run

/usr/bin/perl -v

I get

and when I run the version that is in my perl script:

/opt/third-party/bin/perl -v

I get

This is perl, v5.6.0 built for Linux-2.4c2.3-i686

Which is not even the latest version. I'm going to my internal people on this one.

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.
