That is a *very* old version, dating back to September 2003.

Correct.

Yes.
The initial code for the "extend" mechanism was written in May 2004,
and first appeared in the 5.2.x line.  It wasn't part of the default build
until the 5.4 release.

With 5.0.9, you're really looking at using "sh" and "exec" instead.
The basic functionality is much the same - but the later "extend"
code drew on several years experience with these earlier
mechanisms to make things much more flexible, powerful,
consistent and legal.
