I have two versions of perl (5.004_04, and 5.6.1)

it seems the older one doesn't like the following code:

sub somefunction {
        if(exists $_[0]){
                print "$_[0]\n";
                }
        }

Output of perl -c (of 5.004_4):
exists operator argument is not a HASH element at ....

any ideas why the old version dies and the new version has no problems? Is
there a work around for this (without patching) for the old version?

the strength of the hand that draws it. Argument is like an arrow from a
cross-bow, which has equal force though shot by a child.
