RE: [Expectperl-discuss] perl 500404 with Expect 1.15

[Blackstone, J. D. <jda...@ci...>]

  Judging by the problem with "qr," I'm guessing Expect.pm will not work
with any Perl earlier than 5.005 (or is it 5.6?) which introduced the qr//
syntax for compiling regular expressions and passing them around as reusable
values.  Even if the module itself ran under an earlier Perl, I'm guessing
you wouldn't find it near as useful without this syntax.

  5.004 is several years old; I'd hammer my sysadmin with this and beg them
to upgrade. :)
