The latest, most-tested-ever, stable version of Perl, version 5.8.0 was released on 18th July 2002, which is a while ago. We use it at work for development and on the new production servers. I don't use it on my personal colo box (it has so much stuff running it'd be a pain to update).
Consider this a small survey. Do you use Perl 5.8.0? Why? Leon -- Leon Brocard.............................http://www.astray.com/ scribot.................................http://www.scribot.com/ ... Eschew obfuscation!
