At $current_job I don't have anything in production, so it doesn't really
matter. So I'm quite happy to do the build systems and testing for my C
and C++ with perl scripts and modules running on 5.8.0.

I like 5.8.0 because doesn't have a sucky Unicode implementation
I like 5.005_03 because doesn't have a sucky Unicode implementation

Neither seem to have bugs that I run into, or can provoke trivially.

I prefer 5.8.0 because it can open my $filehandle ...

Of all the useful new features, that's the only one I really like enough
to warrant picking a recent perl version.
