5.10.0 is the latest stable release of perl. > 5.10 is not even on the Debian horizon yet: Debian is notorious for being several releases behind the rest of the world.

You could always build your own perl 5.10.0 and install it alongside Debian's version. If you build with all the defaults, it installs in /usr/local so won't interfere with the system perl. Or if you'd rather not have it there, Configure with -Dprefix=$HOME/perl-5.10.0 or similar. I also have a guest account available on one of my machines, with several different versions of perl available, so if for some reason you can't build your own, let me know and I'll let you know the login details. I believe that 5.10.0 will be in the imminent next release of Fedora, so real non-expert users will have it very soon. -- David Cantrell | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david
