in thread The need and the price of running on old versions of Perl

Sure, there are things that are easier with sed, awk and ksh. So use them.

Besides, most of the tasks done easily with those tools can be done as easily with any version of Perl without the need of a module.

When you really need a module you will probably find one that works on your version of Perl. It might not be the latest version of that module but do you really need the latest version?
