Programming This forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

perl-5.12.0 is out


http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.1...l5120delta.pod - reading it with a lot of anticipation/curiosity.

For example, new keywords and thus completely new language can be introduced.

Also, (finally, in a sense) 'use strict;' is now the default.

Only if you specify the version explicitly; most won't (ever). I'd have liked to see strict and warnings/-w as the default, but optionally be able to turn off; Personally I never have to (turn them off) , but there's always one ..

Me too. But (un)fortunately, Perl is well known/respected for its backward compatibility, even with moronic code .
