I know we gain little in requiring 5.10 for Padre. Just a little delicious syntactic sugar that can make our relatively-short lives easier and more joyful :) We also have to think about the maintenance cost of 5.8.8+ (Feb 2006), 5.10.x, 5.12.x, and the awesome 5.14.x Perl. I agree that we definitely need more download or usage statistics (e.g. Strawberry, Padre, Debian). When will Red Hat 5's support contract end? And what is the next bundled Perl version in the next Red Hat?
