Build Your Own LCD Bus Schedule
MikeLRoy writes "An engineering student in Winnipeg, tired of missing his bus to school (and waiting in the cold) created an LCD bus stop. It displays the next bus times for several stops and routes, all from the heated comfort of his kitchen. And yes, there are pics and code on the site."
Seriously... what the heck? Do you read articles or do you just spam?

The book I use teaches perl 5.6 scoping as well as 5.6 style threads. My instructor told me not to use it and yes %70 of the programs on the cd with my book would not even run or would run with serious bugs.
Since I use "How to program in Perl" by Dietel and Dietel which are both MIT professors, I doubt your argument to your rude comment holds much water.
That is unless you think you are more qualified and can code better then them.
If you need to change your code then its surely not source compatible. There are many other changes besides scoping rules that effect portability like the module that deals with threading. In other words Linux distro's should not be so quick to believe everything on the perl.com's website and ditch perl 5.6x. This will break hundreds if not thousands of apps.
