After doing some regression testing, seems like Perl 5.10.0 lost
compatibility with Symbian due to generate_uudmap.c and overload.c which
were added on 2007 to Perl's source code among other changes. We're still
debugging this. Hence, I'm not really sure if it is supported on previous
SDK or in S80, S90, etc.
At this moment, I just can say for sure that we get a functional Perl core
for S60 SDK 5.0.

Yes, you're right Craig, we'll document all the work done on the README.

So, IMHO, we should mention the S60 3.2 and 5.0 SDK support as an early
stage pre-release or similar, since Perl's libraries are not still
included and just basic funtionalities such as print or show the help or
the version can be done as of yet. Anyway, the sentence could be "Now
supported for Symbian S60 3.2 SDK and S60 5.0 SDK"
Let us know your thoughs and comments. Feel free if you have any further
question.
BR,
Osvaldo
