Follow comp.lang.perl (which should better be named comp.lang.cgi mostly :), and mention that you are still running Perl 4. You'll see the word ``obsolete'' in reply... Btw., i've got Perl4 scripts that core-dumped the original perl 4, while running fine under /usr/local/bin/perl. I'm all for switching, and fixing what might become broken.
