There are some nasty bugs in 5.6 which tend to surface when you stretch
perl a bit. One that AxKit brings rise to is the "Bizarre copy of ARRAY in
aassign" (sic) bug. There are patches available to fix this though.
I'm still waiting for 5.6.1 before upgrading. Others have bitten the
bullet and been just fine with 5.6.0.
