A small test-case just worked for me on Linux 2.4.7 and 5.8.0... I suppose the answer is "Update, my man!", then.

Not sure whether I can install it, though, unless it's been ppm-ified. (Here by Windows.) Or perhaps I should simply test on the Linux box, which has perl5.8.0... only thing is it belongs to a project I worked on formerly, so I probably shouldn't be using it, in theory. Have to see.
