Sorry, I misunderstood.
so I said it's been 5.8.8 for quite a while. It is no secret that
we (Apple) try our best to keep up-to-date with perl (and other
opensource projects) at every major release.
Well, it is a bit of a secret. For example;
httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin)
It is also no secret that we have never updated (though I might
personally like to) the same opensource projects between major
releases (ie, software updates).
Why is that? Does Apple not provide the resources to make this
possible? Personally I think they should because the Mac is a great
development platform. I think Apple would win more developers to the
platform if it were more open and a bit more up-to-date. Not shipping
Apache 2 seems obstinate to me.
