Yes, since Perl seems to be migrating into SFW, it probably makes sense
to bring Perl modules into SFW with it, unless they are tightly bound
to something in another consolidation or use private interfaces in
another consolidation. John integrated Perl 5.10 into the SFW gate
earlier this week, so it should show up in build 122 and live along side
5.8.4 until 5.8.4 can go away. Were I planning on delivering a Perl
module into Solaris any time soon, I would be delivering it on top of
5.10 now.
