[Haskell-beginners] Beginners Digest, Vol 106, Issue 7

Hello everybody,

A small question.
-----
packageP = do
    literal “package"
-----

what is the "literal" in this code? My problem is

$ ghc ParserTest.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling ParserTest       ( ParserTest.hs, ParserTest.o )

ParserTest.hs:11:5: Not in scope: ‘literal’

$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.10.3

Is this because I use old version of software?

Thanks,
Andrey
