DETAILS

This Perl script accepts as its first argument a Perl regular expression, and as its second and subsequent arguments Perl verions numbers. It displays to standard out whether or not each given version of Perl considers the specified regular expression to be correct.

The heavy lifting for this is done by the PPIx::Regexp accepts_perl() method.
