archaic 5.00503

I just had to realize that @- and @+ weren't yet there in perl5.00503. String::Ruby unfortunately heavily relies upon those variables in the Perl portion of the module so I have to find a way to code around them. At least for the submatches in $<digit> this will be clumsy because it'll probably involve symbolic references to access them. Marvellous. :-/


Old support?

Why do you need to support 5.00503? DBI just moved to 5.6.1 afaik for example.

Probably I don't really need it and so I guess I make my own life harder than necessary.

On the other hand it's kind of a sportive challenge. A module you write and maintain is like a child of yours...you want it to be well dressed and well behaved. :-)
