your Camel book is out of date, but thankfully, http://www.perldoc.com is not.
If I start using online docs, I'm going to
end up wanting to
keep every system up to date with the latest perl
all the time. I was hoping to avoid that until
Perl6 comes out. At present I use systems that have
everything ranging from 5.005 through 5.6.1 to 5.8.1,
and this has never proven to be a problem, not
even when using a lot of modules off of the CPAN.
I wouldn't want to start relying on all the latest
features; that would be bad design for sure, and
not only in terms of OO purity.
In retrospect, my other post seems to have come
across as a little harsh. For that I'm sorry.
But I disagree that it's bad design to break
something that's a fairly new feature anyway,
within the same major version (Perl5).

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
