Please search the archives. There were reports of problems with perl5.6,
Doug has submitted quite a few fixes for 5.6 to make it working with
mod_perl. I'm not sure whether perl5.6-PATCH2 is bugless with regard to
mod_perl. Not to mention possible problems that has nothing to do with
mod_perl, but are general Perl issues.
Therefore I still use 5.00503 on my production sites. But some people are
using 5.6 without any problems on their production sites.
