Typo in documentation of "say" on perldoc.perl.org #15075
Comments
From @rrthomasCreated by @rrthomasOn the page http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/say.html it says: Alternately, include a use v5.10 or later to the current scope. However, that would require perl 5.100 or later. Instead of “use v5.10” it should say “use 5.10.0”. Perl Info |

On a second reading, I note this should also be changed to say either "include…in" or "add…to", rather than "include…to" as at present. |

I've attached a patch to fix the wording, but the "use v5.10" is correct: $ perl -e'use v5.10; say "Hello"' Perl splits version strings on "." and prefixes zeros (like `sprintf "%03d"`). The leading "v" is what says to do this. Without that leading "v", you would need to say "use 5.010". Doug Bell |

No, that's wrong. Did you try it? "use v5.10", "use v5.10.0", "use 5.10.0", "use 5.010" all mean the same thing. |
From @rrthomasApologies, I must've typed "use 5.10;". The second part of my correction still stands. On 7 December 2015 at 06:29, l.mai@web.de via RT <perlbug-followup@perl.org>
