Has anyone seen 5.004_xx in the wild? And if so, were people actively
developing using it or was it just there to run some old code and they
were actually developing on a newer perl?
I've seen it on occasion, and it's general on large old IRIX servers,
and similar aged things. CVS repositories and other boxes that have
provided the same services pretty much forever and have never had a
compelling reason to upgrade.
Some large financial companies are still using this version.
At my last place of work, I suspect they're still running 5.002gamma on
an aging Vax. They still were in 2002, in any event. That said, from
what I can recall, no CPAN modules were hurt in the making of the
application.
