5.004? (Score:2)
5.004? Are you serious? If you're doing it as an exercise in personal torture, ok, but hell, both 5.004_05 and 5.005_03 are past their 10 year "use by" date. I'd be interested to know if you've seen a 5.004 or even 5.005 in the wild that's actually being used for development, as opposed to just running some old code nobody touches anymore, and where an upgrade, or parallel Perl install, is not feasible.

He also said that loading the module should consume no more than 100kb. I would think 5.004 is a lesser constraint than that one; clearly he is serious. (Although combining both constraints… well, real Turing tar pits are even more compelling, so…)
