in thread Which version does Perl 5.14.2 defaults to?

Which version is taken by default?
If you don't understand the answers given to you, ask more specific questions.

Asking the same question again isn't going to give you a different answer. The answer remains, "if you run 5.14.2, you get 5.14.2. Nothing less, nothing more".

    We can somewhat expand this answer a bit, in that the "default 5.14.2 mode" tries to be very close to 5.8.x, except for fixed bugs and enhancements that do not conflict with 5.8.x.

    In the end, a careful study of perldelta is likely a good approach.
