Argument: If you drive a 10 year old car, you get 10 year old fuel economy.

In 2000, the average family car return 29 miles to the gallon and Petrol was 75p (uk) per gallon. Today, the average family saloon return 40+ per gallon, and petrol (gas) is Ł1.30 per gallon.

Perl 5.8.2 was the second most buggy release of perl in the last decade and was released in November, 2003. A lot of unpaid, hard working and very clever guys have fixed whole bunch of bugs in the last 8 years or so. Allowing managerial indecision to prevent your company/department/operation from benefiting from their free-to-use efforts is mind-blowingly stupid.

L~R. Cite me verbatim, with scepticism or condemnation as appropriate, but verbatim. It won't hurt me, but it might help you.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

BrowserUk, I have no idea what you are talking about. I have only cited you once in this thread and it was verbatim. It was only to explain why I wasn't more helpful/friendly when I originally posted. I understood the issue could have been the environment which is why I included it in the root thread and which you went on to provide evidence to suggest it was in fact the case. I have re-read your response several times and in context of the entire thread and have no idea what you are talking about. Update: If your intent was as Anonymous Monk describes below, this makes so much more sense. I outlined some of what I am dealing with but can't be more explicit due to the nature of my work. One of my goals this year is to get 5.14 into the production environment which I will succeed at. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

I'm pretty sure BrowserUk means to quote the post verbatim to your boss and thusly get the environment fixed, rather than you having to hack around the problems.	[reply]

Anonymous Monk, Ah, that makes so much more sense. The biggest reason is that perl is not used in any of the production applications. It is only a support tool. This isn't so much of a no as it is performing a massive amount of work on my own to get it through the various stages of the process to be introduced into the production environment. I am always in need of tuits - the round kind. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
