Wise ones,
I've got a line of code I use in several Windoze programs, and it's
always worked just fine. Now I'm trying it in UNIX and it croaks with a
syntax error. Can anyone help?
Here's the line of code:
>
# get date slice for start of current run from epoch value.
my ($dd, $mm, $yy, $hh, $mn) = map localtime( $^T )->$_ => qw(mday mon year
hour min);

the syntax message says that the error happens "near $_ =>", if that
helps any.
A syntax error should not be a difference between Windows and Unix. It
would normally be a difference between two different versions of Perl.
And, in fact, your code does not work on my up-to-date ActivePerl for
Windows.
