PERL & Y2K Considerations

[thrall12]

Those interested in PERL and Y2K issues may wish to
review the following site, which states, among other
things, "Perl is every bit as Y2K compliant as is your
pencil; no more, and no less. Does that comfort you?
It shouldn't. Just as you can commit Y2K
transgressions with your pencil, so too you can do so
with Perl."  I would say this is true of almost any
language on any platform, which is to say rexamining
one's date-related coding practices might be good
while there's still  plenty of time to right any
preexisting wrongs.  For more, see the full page at
