in reply to 2013 year complaint

I would like to know whether it is right or invalid one.
Just to be explicit... it is invalid. It is a joke. See also:

    The document is a joke, but the statement is not invalid at all. Perl has no problem with year 2013 (or 2014 or 2015 or...), and shortly, it won't have any problem with the year 2038 either.

      Unless I'm missing something, it's fine today, if you have enough bits.
