Not according to perl.com (http://www.perl.com/download.csp): "The maintenance version of Perl is *5.8.8*. This is a stable, tested release that you should use in production environments." It was based on this that we (at my day job) recently decided to move from 5.8.6 to 5.8.8 and not 5.10.0. Also, .0 releases (of any software) are notorious for having stability issues. > <http://5.8.8.> The version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker included in 5.8.8 >> distributions does not support the license field. >> > > And they would not see error (as we have no means to modify EU::MM at > their computers).

Yeah I misunderstood at first, I thought the error would occur at the time of uploading to CPAN rather than at "make dist" time. --Bill.
