Re: On Artificial Unspecified Constraints

The reason that i can't use Date::Calc now is that i am running Perl 4.0 and i can't upgrade now. If this does not work, you guessed it...

i am running Perl 4.0 and i can't upgrade now. Uh, exactly the same question occurs to me. Why? Why have you introduced this constraint, because removing it would solve most (if not all) of your problems? -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

Are you writing new code or trying add an enhancement/fix to 1000's of lines of legacy code in a short amount of time? If you have legacy code, keep separate installations of perl so that anything new can be done in the latest/greatest ways with the latest/greatest modules, and you can convert legacy code at your leisure until you can just get rid of Perl 4.
