Whilst I agree with these in the context of considering which versions of perl to support for a small web application that you wan't to be as 'plug-n-play' as possible, I'm not so convinced in the enterprise world. I had thought the "target market" for much of this would be organisations who would probably have (pretty much) complete control over their own environments (bypassing 'B') and someone with enough clue to get a working version of perl... (although many places may not want to move to something too close to the bleeding edge, but if 5.6.1 is pretty standard now then I'd definitely say it should be fine). Or have I misunderstood?
