We use 5.10.1 here, but not 5.10.0. IMO some of the package minimums specified are slightly too high. I know I did mention in the past that if Data::Dumper were literally reduced by one point I wouldn't have to hack up the build every time I make an RPM out of the source. I think that if the version minimums were chosen based on what was actually needed, vs what was originally on a host at the time, this would be less of an issue.
