"I'm using Perl 5.005_03"

I didn't know 5.005 had been ported to the steam-powered, gear-driven Univacs. :-)

Seriously, that was released in the last century (1999, I think). You might be well served by updating to the latest version available for your architecture.

That would require administrative privileges on a processor used by hundreds of people for software development on many different programs. Upgrading is out of the question. It would require an Engineering Analysis, and a likely upgrade of many many scripts, costing our customers in excess of a few hundred thousand dollars. Something tells me that they wouldn't go for that. The good news is that we are upgrading to the newfangled AIX 5, which comes with a fancy-dancy Perl 5.8.3. It should take no more than 3 more years.
