Send mail to perl5-porters@nicoh.com including the operating system and revision, the version of perl you are using, and a brief code sample that demonstrates the problem. Summary of outstanding projects: Perl - The current stable version of perl is 5.003. More perl information can be gotten from the CPAN (ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN) or from Perl.Com (http://www.perl.com/perl).
