So the question is: is it better to convert to a different distribution of > 5.8.8 or go to ActivePerl 5.16 or go to a different distribution of 5.16 > Upgrading to 5.16 (whatever distribution) probably needs a lot of work wrt your custom C extensions - the Perl internals have considerably changed since 5.8.8.
