title: What Does Y2K Compliant Mean?
body: <p>I was reading basics of Perl programming language and I came across the following statement</p>
  
  <pre><code>Perl is Y2K compliant.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Did not quite get what it meant even after some Googling. Is it some kind of standard established. if yes then by  whom? Any info is appreciated.</p>
