Re^3: Loop through two files in comparison

Just to put GrandFather's comment about updating to a newer version of Perl into perspective...

Perl 5.005_02 was released 14 years ago (1998-Aug-08).

Thanks to you both! Where can I get the latest perl to download and install? I've looked at CPAN & assume this is the right place - http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.16.1.tar.gz ?! Appreciate all advice.	[reply]

You could, yes. There's a write up on compiling from source: http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html. You can also get precompiled binaries here: http://www.perl.org/get.html. When trying a new Perl version, I typically use App::perlbrew though so I don't disrupt anything.	[reply]
