Re: poll ideas quest 2013

Backstory

The entire basis for this poll is contained in node Roll Call - How new is your Perl?

The basic question is: how old is the perl you're working with (i.e.- at your $job). And by extension, do you get to use Modern::Perl at $work?

Prologue

You can generally choose whatever version of Perl you want to use at $home. It's not an issue. You have choice. On the other hand, at $work things are often much more restrictive.

Poll: Modern::Perl at $work

I get to use Modern::Perl features (and like it)
I have to use Modern::Perl features (and hate it)
I can't use newer Perl features at all, but I would If I could. I'm stuck at 5.8.8 or below.
I'm happy to just use regular Perl features dating back to the turn of the century, tried, true, and all I need.
Are you kidding? Everything I do is a one-file-hack because I'm not allowed to use anything but core modules anyway and upgrading is totally out of the question.
What is Modern::Perl?
I think everyone should be using Lisp, and never shut up about it.

A mistake can be valuable or costly, depending on how faithfully you pursue correction

Hard to answer, when I have the modernests perl versions installed, but NEVER ever use Modern::Perl (on purpose). `use 5.16.2;` + `use warnings;` is more than enough for me. (FWIW I have 134 versions of perl installed on my laptop, I do not want to install Modern::Perl on them :) Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]
