perldelta - what's new for perl5.004

perldelta.html NAME DESCRIPTION #DESCRIPTION perldelta/index.html DESCRIPTION

This document describes differences between the 5.003 release (as documented in Programming Perl, second edition--the Camel Book) and this one.

perldelta.html NAME BUGS #BUGS perldelta/index.html BUGS

If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the headers of recently posted articles in the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup. There may also be information at perldelta.html HREF http://www.perl.com/perl/, http://www.perl.com/perl/, http://www.perl.com/perl/, the Perl Home Page.

If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the perlbug program included with your release. Make sure you trim your bug down to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of perl -V, will be sent off to <perlbug@perl.com> to be analysed by the Perl porting team.
