Everyone hear that? Use 5.6.1. That is also the version that is covered
by 3rd Camel Book (It magically covered 5.6.1 A WHOLE YEAR before it was
actually released).

I feel obligated to help because there appears a critical shortage of
engineers in Perl (5/6) porters who grok multiple byte codes. I believe
features like Jcode should be handled by standard modules. I prescribed
Jcode because and only because Camel could not digest Japanese. If there is
a chance to "genetically engineer" the camel this is definitely a feature
that should be included in its DNA....
