But, anyway, is it a problem we really need to be inflicting on new Perl
users? Do they have to care if "somebody might be running 5.8.8
somewhere"? With 5.10.0 out for well over a year now?
--As for the rest, it is mine.
Given that at work I have boxes running Perl 5.4.something that I'm not
allowed to upgrade, Yes. (And we just installed some brand-new boxes
running the latest version of RedHat. Comes with Perl 5.8.10.)
It takes _time_ for boxes to get upgraded. Sometimes lots of time.

out for _X_ years now, so we shouldn't have to worry about it'. If X is
less than 10, you have to worry about it. If it's more than 10, be
prepared to worry about it if needed.)
