hmm, I've replied to a questioner, then he said that in 
http://www.gnu.org/software/year2000-list.html#NotChecked
perl5.002, perl5.003 were not yet tested and marked as 
`newer version was claimed OK'.  So he asked perl5.002, perl5.003 
is really year 2000 complient, while debian has no perl5.002, perl5.003.
What should I reply to him?

Thanks,
