We are redoing one of our applications, and I wanted a quick sync against which Perl versions are currently "blessed". I remember that 5.10.0 did not work due to a bug in the Perl base. Are there any issues we need to be aware of for 5.12.0 or should we stick with 5.10.x (x greater than or equal to 1)?
My recommendation is to ignore the 5.10.x series, and go straight to 5.12.1+ if you want the newest production version, or use 5.8.x if you want to support older Perls. The 5.12.x and 5.10.x were released close enough together, and the 5.12.x benefit from the new and improved development process of making a release every month regardless of how much was changed. Also, 5.12.x improves some of the features that 5.10.x added, such as making smart matching and Unicode work better. Speaking for myself, I'm using 5.12.1 in production and for my work applications, and I'm using 5.8.1+ for my CPAN modules. -- Darren Duncan
