Hello!

Are you using perldoc on your system or the Perl Monks web version? I *think* (look at Perl Monks perldelta page) the web version you reference is really 5.005 rather than 5.004 which may be your problem. I tried it out on 5.005_03 and it works as it should. I dont have an older version so I can't say for sure...

Good Luck with it!!
