Re: Philosophy for when not to support older versions of perl

You wrote 3 lines of text -- which are probably longer than the 3 lines of code required -- to ask this question.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

What I meant was, how much time and effort are people willing to dedicate to research and test code that will work against 10+ year old versions of perl when we may have gotten used to updated idioms. I know personally I've gone many, many hours to do so. A side question... is the effort even worth it?	[reply]
