This is what seasoned David-Grove-watchers call "a complete, barefaced lie". Who do you get your Perl from? Redhat? They ship 5.6.0 in RH7.0 Mandrake? Hrm, perl-5.600-30mdk.i586.rpm. Yep, that'd be 5.6.0 Solaris? Talk to Alan - Perl 5.6.1 going into Solaris 9. Debian? They're not commercial, but they're still a pretty big OS distro; let's have a look in the next release: (the "testing" distro - Debian release very infrequently.) http://packages.debian.org/testing/interpreters/perl-5.6.html shows me they're going to be shipping - oh, Perl 5.6.1. Even better. Anywhere else? :) -- And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail.
