Hey, Nick.
I knew you are always dealing with the next Perl. But... version 10? :D
Re: (Score:1)
In case you are seriously wondering – people have taken to referring to Perl 5 version numbers like 5.8.9 and 5.10.1 as “Perl 5, version 8.9” or “Perl 5, version 10.1”.
And apparently, Nick is lampooning that; apparently he thinks it’s silly? (Personally I like that tentative new convention.)

Not silly. I agree with the intent. I don't agree with the current "solution", as I think that it has the potential to cause a new can of version number woes. As if we didn't have enough already.
