Is Perl 5.6 really the "stable" release? I've seem some discussion out of
the corner of my eye here about people complaining about 5.6 and to get
so-and-so latest version instead. To someone like me who doesn't really use
5.6 specific features, I just avoid getting 5.6 altogether because of
seeing posts like this.
Also, is 5.6 really the release that works the most stably with mod_perl
1.25? Or would a variant of 5.005 really be better instead if people
complain about 5.6?
I just noticed this in the digest and it started me thinking about this.
Because if I read the digest as a newbie, I would be taking it to mean that
if I want the most stable mod_perl server I would use Perl 5.6 with
mod_perl 1.25.
