I've been stuck on 5.005 here at work for a while.

Here is one thing I've found:
"our" does not work. use "use var" instead

It is not too hard to examine each error and work the problem.

Keep in mind that since you are obviously using two distinct and different perl installations you may be missing needed modules. This would cause you "errors" but they would not likely be related to the different perl distributions. (Yes, there are *some* included modules in 5.6 that aren't in 5.005) To fix, go to cpan.org to 'fill up' on the needed modules.

You might consider upgrading your Perl installation. It's not as hard as you think.
