Good point! Production mail servers tend to be upgraded more slowly
than development workstations. I'm currently maintaining SA on two
Linux machines, soon to be three; two are running Red Hat 6.x and one is
Debian 2.2 -- all of which have Perl 5.005 installed. I know Perl 5.6
has been out for quite a while now, but I would like to see SA maintain
compatibility with 5.005.
