Classic::Perl, version 0.04 This reinstates features deleted in recent versions of perl. The features we currently provide are: • split to @_ in void and scalar context. This feature was removed in perl 5.11. With this module, you can have it back. • $* - This was removed in perl 5.9. • $[ - This was removed in perl 5.15.3. RECENT CHANGES 0.04 ---- • Fixed a crashing bug that occurred with ||= in 5.9 and higher. • Fixed the changes file; I somehow got one from a different branch in the 0.03 release, listing changes that never happened. 0.03 ---- • New $[ feature for 5.15+ (Thanks to Zefram for the patch!) 0.02a ----- Make a test more resilient when certain OSes scramble line numbers in string evals. 0.02 ---- • $* in perl 5.9 and higher • use Classic::::Perl 5.008 import syntax • Fixed to work with perls built with -DDEBUGGING. INSTALLATION The easiest way to install this module is to use the CPAN module or the cpan script: perl -MCPAN -e "install Classic::Perl" cpan Classic::Perl Or you can use the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test [sudo] make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires perl 5 or higher. In Perl 5.15, it requires Array::Base and String::Base. DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for these modules with the perldoc command. perldoc Classic::Perl Or try using man (it’s faster, in my experience): man Classic::Perl COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2010-11, Father Chrysostomos This program is free software; you may redistribute it, modify it, or both, under the same terms as perl.
