7.6 Perl 5.003
Added the IO:: modules and the FindBin module. This is also the first version of Perl where you could say use <version> to require that the running perl be at least at level <version>. Otherwise, the main purpose of this version was to plug a security hole in the suidperl program. This is the version of Perl that the second edition of Programming Perl [WALL96] was written for.
7.6.1 Upgrading to Perl 5.003
If the program is resorting to extraordinary shenanigans to find out where it is located, use FindBin.pm instead.
