Re^2: Undocumented Perl Functionality

Thanks for your response. Version strings are not covered/documented in any of my programming Perl books so no wonder I couldn't find any information about them. It's time to get the latest Perl book!

It's time to get the latest Perl book! AFAICT, they first showed up in the 3rd Edition Camel as "V-String Literals" and in the 4th ed as "Version Literals". And by the way, welcome to the Monastery!	[reply]

Version strings are not covered/documented in any of my programming Perl books .. I have the fourth edition of the Camel (February 2012), and v-string is defined on page 1080. :) Alex / talexb / Toronto Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.	[reply]
