Yes, you can get these on CPAN for 5.8.8, but for @jobs that insist on only using core modules

I have encountered @jobs with just that restriction. Any libre/open software that is not explicitly indemnified by the vendor must be individually approved (along with any dependencies) for the specific version and license.

Perl itself may be an approved product, but non-core modules must go through the same process as any other non-vendor provided resource. Perl 5.10 will not change that aspect of those @jobs, but getting the 5.10 release of Perl approved will be easier than the multitude of individual module updates.

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.
