I don't know, but it's unlikely.

I suppose Perl augmented it's "escapism" over the versions.

More importantly, what are the specifications for C and do they also depend on the version?

For instance I had problems with the \u , and if it comes to Unicode inconsistencies then problems will be even manifold.

    Hmm... Yes, in TinyPerl 5.8, "\uFF00" becomes literal "FF00" instead of "\xFF\0", so eval isn't so clever after all. At least not in TinyPerl 5.8. :/
