I also failed to communicate something that impacts what you wrote. I work on system tools that rely on the customer's OS version of Perl. We don't embed Perl into the tool, and the customer base tends to use older OS versions.

Ha ha, you're the second person this week to surprise me! Thanks for pointing it out. Because all my experience (with both Perl and C++) is in an environment where we control the version of the language and libraries, I just blindly assume that is the case for everyone. Next time, I'll ask first. :)

    Ha! It's my fault, and a funny situation in a friendly sort of way. I come from an operations background, and don't recall ever working in a homogeneous shop. More than once I've caught myself trying to figure out how to kill "that one machine" some developer swore they needed. Despite it being the only machine in the entire company with that OS.
