Despite the fact theproject (the colo box I share with a few other london.pm/ #london.pm types) uses a fair bit of perl, we did actually (mainly) migrate to 5.8.0 last week. Apart from the fact that DB_File didn't want to build (because I couldn't figure out where the hell to point it towards the DB library), and the fact we hadn't got all our perl modules installed yet.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).
However, we're leaving 5.6.1 installed as well, and there are a couple of things that are specifically using that so they don't have the DB_File problems noted above.
