Quite. One of the nice things, so far, about working with Perl is that
upgrades have been reletively simple and painless, cheap, in other words.
Compared to, say, the upgrade between VB 16bit and VB 32bit, the Perl
upgrades I've done have been free. The idea of changing all of my Perl
scripts is *not* attractive, actually it's sort of scary.
