Good point, I need to keep that in mind when asking questions.

From a personal perspective, if you ask "How can I perform task $X, but only on 5.12 or earlier", that means I'd have to install an earlier version of Perl and think really hard about how to write something without regex improvements, signatures, postfix dereferencing, improved capture groups, lexical subs, or any of a dozen other little improvements I've grown accustomed to, not to mention code that only runs on newer releases (anything that relies on pluggable keywords, Mojolicious, etc etc.)

That level of language usage is outside my expertise and background; thank you for helping me see the issue better.
