Currently they are provided for version 5.8.4. After reading PSARC 2009/315, I see that Perl 5.10 is binary-incompatible with 5.8, so the Desktop team will likely need to rebuild these modules after 5.10 is integrated into Solaris. Beyond that, I do not expect there is more that would need to be done, or am I missing something? Do we know what build Perl 5.10 will be integrated so that we can coordinate this? Normally we rebuild the Desktop stack on top of the latest build - 2. But in this case, it might make sense for the Desktop team to make plans to rebuild these modules in the same build that Perl 5.10 will be introduced. I have sent an email to John Sonnenschein, who is listed as the owner for PSARC 2009/315, with these questions so that we can coordinate with them. Thanks, Brian
