in reply to porting programs written in perl 5.004 to perl5.005

Here is an overview of what changed between those two versions.

Usually it suffices to make sure that all modules that you require are present and work under Perl 5.005. Which means that they have to be in 5.005's @INC, and any that link to C libraries have been recompiled (because of binary incompatibility between 5.004 and 5.005).

The exceptions to that rule are due to bugs in one or the other version of Perl.

    Hi

    Have you come across any white paper regarding this porting which can be shared.

    Thank you

      To the best of my knowledge, it is so trivial to do that upgrade that nobody has bothered writing a white paper.
