Just wanna toss in a quick sympathy-LOL for those of us with clients who had an 
enormous blob of legacy code when they hired us, the barest notion of a staging 
server, and no regression tests at all. (Which is to say, “those of us with 
clients”, I suppose.)

I have multiple 5.8.X clients I’ve picked up over the next 12 months and 
consider it a small miracle (and a testament to the awesomeness of the Perl 
community) that, like, Moose installed itself anyway. But I am still gonna 
recommend an upgrade path for the lot of em, and it’s going to be an 
interesting, very case-by-case time.
