Re: Perl 5.10.0 or Perl 5 Version 10?

Perl 5.10.0 should really be called Perl 5 Version 10.0.

It already is, according to patchlevel.h in perl.git:

#define PERL_REVISION   5               /* age */
#define PERL_VERSION    10              /* epoch */
#define PERL_SUBVERSION 0               /* generation */

Obviously. It was a argument against claims that it's a new scheme, not an argument for status quo.	[reply]

OK, but it came across as unnecessarily pedantic. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain. It is provided as is with no warranties, express or implied, of any kind. Posted code may not have been tested. Use of posted code is at your own risk.	[reply]
