I've noticed that many Monk's tend to overlook that Perl is used by system and network administrators, systems engineers, biologists, and other less traditional developers.... And so, the next time someone asks a question about an older version of Perl, please keep in mind ....

Must be confirmation (or some such) bias :)

What is a really old version of perl?

One which isn't supported by perl5-porters, which ATM means anything below 5.14

So RHEL suports some antique version of perl -- great for them, they get MONEY for that.

If you want to give me MONEY I'll keep this in mind also

But you're not going to give me MONEY are you?

If you want consideration be nice and send money
