in reply to Templating system for older perl

I have been tasked with modifying a CGI app which runs on a hosted server running perl 5.004 on Solaris.

Tell your company to upgrade. If they won't, get another job.

Sorry, but any company that wants to run their publicly open services (I take it this is the case from "hosted server") on a platform that was released in 1997 and has not been maintained since then is just too crazy to want to work for. If you were a truck driver, would you consent to driving around in a rig that hasn't seen the inside of a mechanics shop this side of the millennium divide? This is software, so your employers won't be dragged to court by the health and safety people for such a stunt, but they still need a reality check.
