When the devil did *THIS* sneak in???
Hash %ALIASES missing the % in argument 1 of dbmopen() at
/home/tchrist/scripts/ga line 3 (#1)
(D deprecated) Really old Perl let you omit the % on hash names in some
spots. This is now heavily deprecated.
Hash %PASSWD missing the % in argument 1 of dbmopen() at
/home/tchrist/scripts/ga line 104 (#1)
So now it's not enough to kill perl4, you have to backdate
the killings to perl3, too? :(
It appears to have happened sometime during 5.11, but there is
no mention of it in any perl5.12 delta. Nor, in fact, in any!
% grep 'missing the %' blead/pod/perl*delta*
Exit 1
Yes, it's easy to fix. No, I can't run perl3. I can't even run perl4.
I can and do run perl1, but only because I hacked on it. None of the
rest of them compile.
If we have to use
use 5.014;
to get new features, how come we don't have to say:
no 4.036;
to kill only ones?
Also, shouldn't there be an "only" switch?
Grumble.
