in reply to In string, @var now must (NOT) be written as \@var
Yes, get an old version of perl, install it somewhere like usr/bin/perl/V5.004 and use this in the shebang line.
Having old versions of Perl available for testing/development (like the version on your clients server) makes good logical sense. In fact developing the code using this version of perl makes sense given that Perl aims for backwards compatibility ie 5.004 should run on 5.6 but not necessarily vice versa.
