Being a bit out of date would not be a problem, but in some cases you will be stuck with a years old version of Perl. You will encounter such cases especially in Linux distributions with long support policy. For examplethe Long Term Support of Ubuntu. Of course, every software in those distributions is very old, not only Perl.
Stability has a price! One of the drawbacks of having an old version of Perl is that there might be CPAN modulesthat don't support that version of Perl any more. To get started with Perl it will be OK to use the one that came with the operating system,but at one point you might want to install the newest version of Perl. We will go deeper in thisissue in another article, but for now it is enough to say that this became very easy recently with thedevelopment of Perlbrew.
In some Linux distributions not all 'standard' Perl is included by default. For examplemany distributions leave out the documentation. You can either read it via theperldoc web site, or you can usually install it withthe standard package management system of your operating system. On the UNIX side the situation is not that good. If possible download andinstall a recent version of Perl and use that for any new development.

What do you think the Perl debugger does? It adds code. You misunderstand adding temporary code and permanant code, too. Add a comment.
