In Mastering Perl, brian d foy uses the term 'Old School Perl' (in the context of using dbmopen). Is this the preferred phrase?
Would '20th Century Perl' vs '21st Century Perl' be more apt?
Do you have a better one?

How would monks define Old School and New School? Here is the start of my list:
Old School         New School
pre-5.6            5.8 or later
use CGI;           catalyst;
-w                 use warnings;
fingers crossed    use strict;
use vars;          my, our
Perl as shell      Perl as Perl
Perl as C          Perl as Perl
@ISA               use base (or parent)
bless {}           use Moose;

and so on...

update:I notice that the Moose::Manual uses the term Old School as well.
