Excuse me, I was just going on the documentation from active perl. I installed ActivePerl-5.6.1.626 not too long ago (May 9) and there is no mention of this.

For that frikkin' matter, I just tried a "crypt()" call and it fails. While this information is old, it is by no means outdated. If my 2 month old version of Perl won't work, chances are good that this information applies to the question asked.

BTW, this is the first time I've gotten crap for R'ing TFM!

I'm not saying you're not right, but I don't expect to get depricated for relaying information that is in relatively current documentation.
