in reply to Worth still to learn perl 5?

:) I made the same question some time ago:
  • If you need perl to get a job, there is more than plenty of time to keep on using perl 5. Jobs are even more conservative than programmers. If you search for the Apache version of most of the web sites, you'll find out that most don't even aproach to Apache version 2.0.-
  • Most (freely) available Perl books refer to perl 4. (You need to read at least one Perl book).
  • What's wrong about using old functions? They should work now. But as you are starting now, you are learning the new limitations as the normal standards.
