    I love the smell of sub routines in the morning

    If you get an error, type "OVERRIDE" or "SECURITY OVERRIDE" and then try the optimize command again.

    Then as time so pass, more and more "features" are added into perl 5.004 and the result is that now you have too many features spoils the broth.

    I'm sorry. I think you are looking for this every-feature-is-in-the-core language.

    Glad to point you in the right direction!

    Just write a perl script to modify all your current perl scripts to use /usr/bin/perl5
