Sorry, but if you are still using 5.6, you might deserve billions of laughs ... ;-)

    On some of our VMS servers, we are stuck with Perl 5.8, with no way to upgrade because there hasn't been any newer Perl version for that version of the operating system.

      I guess you deserve billions of laughs for using VMS ...

        Yes, probably, you're welcome to laugh as I would if it were about someone else ;), but that's not my choice. And BTW, these VMS servers are used for managing a 35-million customer base in a tier-one telecommunication operator. We have plans to move the application to Linux/Cassandra, but I'll probably reach retirement age before the porting is completed.

        And it could be worse than VMS. MSWin, for example. :-)
