Good point, I need to keep that in mind when asking questions.

From a personal perspective, if you ask "How can I perform task $X, but only on 5.12 or earlier", that means I'd have to install an earlier version of Perl and think really hard about how to write something without regex improvements, signatures, postfix dereferencing, improved capture groups, lexical subs, or any of a dozen other little improvements I've grown accustomed to, not to mention code that only runs on newer releases (anything that relies on pluggable keywords, Mojolicious, etc etc.)

That level of language usage is outside my expertise and background; thank you for helping me see the issue better.

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.
