  Slides to my Perl 5.10 intro are available here: http://domm.plix.at/talks/2007_vienna_perl5_10/ [domm.plix.at]

  I even fixed some typos and added a few more comments from the discussions/questions

    To anyone who wants to read the slides: feed the POD source to perldoc and read it on the console. If you try the HTML version, you’ll be clicking “next” every three seconds for some 10 minutes or so.

    Shouldn’t perl5_10 -E 'say JAPH' work? That would be another two characters shorter.

      No:

      ~$ perl5_10 -E 'say JAPH'
      ~$
      ~$ perl5_10 -mO=Deparse -E 'say JAPH'
      BEGIN {
          $^H{'feature_say'} = q(1);
          $^H{'feature_state'} = q(1);
          $^H{'feature_switch'} = q(1);
      }
      say JAPH $_;
