Hey Karl, As a quick point of clarification, even-numbered versions of Perl are stable releases, odd-numbered are development. You'd have a hard time getting v5.21, and an easier time getting 5.20. I'd go with either 5.20 or 5.22.
Anybody tracking recent porters chat to know if there's a significant difference in stability and/or features?
