I disagree that "implementation-specific" suggestions should not be in the FAQ. People want to use perl effectively and efficiently, and that is one need that the FAQ can address. Furthermore it is already assumed that the documentation is specific to the implementation with which it is bundled. And the FAQ for perl6 doesn't exist yet. :-) I suppose, if versions of perl5 differed significantly in these kinds of details, then one could note that in the FAQ.
