I believe the main motivation for people saying they don't want to "use v7" is precisely to avoid having to update to "use v8" and so on in the future; having to chase the latest-and-greatest by making a single character change to their code every decade or so. If they don't want to do that, I really don't think they will want to rename their files either. In practice it amounts to the same thing. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
