I work (as in paid work) entirely in Perl at the moment and spend a lot
of time in the perl community and the core of that community (as in the
newsgroups etc), don't even think of perl as being anything other than
perl5 these days. I suspect if you mentioned a problem with perl4
they'd just tell you to get perl5 before you come back.
