comment on

Just out of interest, I reached for my Camel Book (1st Edition). On page 78, the second paragraph is a very close copy of what ++haukex has quoted from the current documentation.

In the INTRODUCTION section of perlhist, you'll see:

"Perl 4 introduced the first Camel book. Really. We mostly just switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000."

So, that feature has been around since Perl 3; and, it would appear, hasn't substantially changed. It's possible it worked exactly the same in earlier versions; however, I'm not in a position to comment on that.

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.
