... but it is buggy for at least 5.6.0 and not ported to everywhere. Also will not work in any way with perl-5.005 on Win32.

So it is no way more portable.

    The very nature of Perl to be like natural language--inconsistant and full of dwim and special cases--makes it impossible to know it all without simply memorizing the documentation (which is not complete or totally correct anyway).

      you mean not only upgrade from 5.8 but, if platform does not support fork (as WinCE do not support it currently) he/she must upgrade PocketPC to Notebook, and also upgrade pocket to bag (because notebook no longer fits to pocket).

      Hey, throw away your costume, as it contains too small pockets. We must upgrade and your pockets must be at least 30cm in size.
