Or newer, if they ever install anything from CPAN, since many modules depend on a newer version. Some OSes even package newer versions separately in addition to the core version, which install earlier in the include path. E.g. Debian has the following versions: Debian | Perl | core | packaged 8 | 5.20.2 | 1.001002 | 1.001008 9 | 5.24.1 | 1.001014 | 1.302075 10 | 5.28.1 | 1.302133 | 1.302162 11 | 5.32.1 | 1.302175 | 1.302183 - ilmari
