( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Greetings Folks,
Not sure if this is a SOPW question or a meditation, but after having it suggested by a saint for here, I will go with SOPW.I did a Super Search and didn't find anything really related to this old versus 5.6 mostly (5.6 versus 6)
I just installed debian's potatoe image on my system at home. It comes default with perl 5.00503. I have always used perl 5.6 so far in my brief perl career. What are the differences? I know local acts a little differently between the two. I just am looking for any screwy behaviors to be aware of before I write something that "I know is correct" only to have it flake out when I change perl versions
Any comments/suggestions here will probably save me hours of anguish. {grin}

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
