Go back and read Mr Moy'ss email address.
He may be in a position to answer this question definitively. :-)
FWIW, I didn't see Ed saying that it had been 5.8.8 in _10.4_ for
quite a while. (His mode of expression was, admittedly, a bit
ambiguous.)
But, unless, 10.4 is tracking a different version between uNTEL and
PPC, my system perl is 5.8.6 with all the current 10.4 updates
installed.
The subject line was "Leopard Perl version", so I said it's been 5.8.8
for quite a while. It is no secret that we (Apple) try our best to
keep up-to-date with perl (and other opensource projects) at every
major release. It is also no secret that we have never updated
(though I might personally like to) the same opensource projects
between major releases (ie, software updates). The best we might do
is apply security patches for serious vulnerabilities. So, no, there
is no 10.4.x with anything other that perl 5.8.6.
