2nd Camel covers Perl 5 and 3rd Camel covers Perl 5.6. There is nothing
(to my knowledge at least) in Perl 5 that doesn't work in Perl 5.6.
There are some nice additions to Perl 5.6 though: our variables (a
better global) and some syntax clean ups (ie 5.6's
$HashOfCoderefs{key}(@args) vs 5's &{$HashOfCoderefs{key}}(@args) or
$HashOfCoderefs{key}->(@args)). Frankly there are a lot of production
machines out there still using Perl 5.005 so you can get burned by
reading 3rd Camel (I know I have gotten burned by the lack of our
several times).
