Hi,
What is your use case, maybe it can be solved by adding "use v5.8;" or "use
v5.10;" at the top?
It is rarely needed to install such an old version of perl, unless it's for
testing compatibility, but then we should aim higher than v5.8.
v5.16 is the oldest version supported by toolchain,
I use modules for complex things that I might get wrong. To re-use other
people's code is often better than to re-invent their solutions.
https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Mechanize::Examples has some good examples of
useful scripts that are short and simple.
Imagine how hard it would be to write
Hi,
Learning Perl is a great book, but anyone looking for an alternative should

Hope it helps :)

a regex does not have to match the

A very simple website needs 0 lines of C, Java, PHP, or Perl - since it can be
made with only HTML.
Big and complex websites might need 100.000s lines of code, in multiple
languages.

Hi,
Yes, they are the same.
I like to use $_ only when the data comes in $_ naturally. Like in a for loop:
for (qw< abc >)
{
if ( !/\w+\d+/ )

print "not matched";
}
}
Otherwise, I have to write $_, then I prefer to name the variable something
