in reply to Differences between Perl 5.8 and Perl 5.18.2

While there have been many changes since 5.8, many code examples from 5.8 should still run without modification on 5.18. I recommend posting a short example of your problematic code along with the exact error messages.

BTW, the changes are detailed in the many perldelta docs in http://perldoc.perl.org/index-history.html. As a beginner, this will probably not be of much help yet.
