The 5.7 - 5.8 transition should require little to no rewriting of application-level code, so I'd suggest sticking with the released 5.7 for serious production. If you're inclined, though, and you have the resources, you could set up a box with 5.8000_06 in parallel for testing -- that would let you know about any hassles you might have upgrading in the future, as well as letting you contribute bug reports on 5.8 to avoid said hassles. :) Andrew _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
