That should be a poll, how many people have ONLY used 5.6 :) It may also be (and in some cases has been) from folks who are not newbies. If someone shows -I on the command line, I doubt they are a newbie (from my experience with newbies)
Thank you for your vote of confidence.
However I am unconcerned if someone thinks I am a newbie. I have only been programming in Perl for about a year and I am far from an expert. Even on subjects where I might be considered an expert, I prefer to think that I am not... for there is always more to learn. As Socrates once said, "I know that I know nothing."
