This and other RFCs are available on the web at http://dev.perl.org/rfc/ =head1 TITLE Eliminate the optional C<sub> for C<BEGIN> etc block declarations =head1 VERSION Maintainer: Peter Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 8 Aug 2000 Last Modified: 29 Aug 2000 Mailing List: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version: 2 Number: 68 Status: Frozen =head1 ABSTRACT The C<sub> keyword is currently optional on C<BEGIN>, C<END>, C<CHECK>, C<INIT>.
