Editing Black Perl (section)

== Result of program execution ==
When executed, "Black Perl" exits on line one, upon reaching the function [http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/exit.html exit]. The remaining lines are parsed by the Perl interpreter but never actually executed. The program produces no output.

Though it will not parse under [[Perl 5]], multiple independent updates to "Black Perl" to make it parsable in Perl 5 have been published.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=237465 |title=Black Perl updated for Perl 5 |author=jonadab |date=2003-02-21 |accessdate=2007-09-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=578707 |title=Black Perl Revisited |author=Ovid |date=2006-10-17 |accessdate=2007-09-15}}</ref>
