This is what seasoned David-Grove-watchers call "a complete, barefaced lie".
Who do you get your Perl from?
Redhat? They ship 5.6.0 in RH7.0
Mandrake? Hrm, perl-5.600-30mdk.i586.rpm. Yep, that'd be 5.6.0
Solaris? Talk to Alan - Perl 5.6.1 going into Solaris 9.
Debian? They're not commercial, but they're still a pretty big OS distro;
let's have a look in the next release: (the "testing" distro - Debian release
very infrequently.)
http://packages.debian.org/testing/interpreters/perl-5.6.html shows me they're
going to be shipping - oh, Perl 5.6.1. Even better.
Anywhere else? :)
