    What version of Perl are you using (perl -v)?

    On both 5.20.3 and 5.24.0, this code produces the following warning:

    perl -wMstrict -E 'my @test = split((/\D/g), "x4d77");' Use of /g modifier is meaningless in split at -e line 1.
      5.25.2

        Can you please run the following command at the command line and reply with what the output is?

        perl -wMstrict -E 'my @test = split((/\D/g), "x4d77"); say $];'
