Unfortunately not as of today. All my installations are using Perl 5.8. I will 
have a look if I can get a test installation running on 5.10, but don't hold 
your breath. I've put it on my todo list.

My main prod deployment runs under Perl 5.8 (SuSE SLES 10), so I will stick to 
5.8 at least for the lifetime of the installation. SLES 11 already comes with 
5.10, so I guess I will be facing a possible migration situation as well.

I would really like to support both versions, but your above statement looks 
like we will have to make a choice. I need to learn more about the issue, I 
guess.

Now this is just great. :(

cheers
