one of the IT guys at work just asked what
I thought about installing version 5.20.0 of perl
on all our computers.
We currently have 5.8.8.
I don't even know if 5.20 is considered stable or not.
Buggy? Issues?
Is a different version better?
Thoughts?

Greg,
Perl 5.20.0 was released in May and is considered stable. In addition to
missing out on a number feature enhancements by using 5.8.8, you're also
missing out on many optimizations that significantly improve performance,
including 5.20's copy-on-write.
I'd personally recommend upgrading,

5.20 is the most recent stable release, so if they are trying to get
current, that is it.
Upgrading the system perl from 5.8.8 to 5.20 however is probably not
advisable though. What is the role-out test plan? Who is responsible for
fixing any code that breaks? What is the role-back plan? As
+1 on PerlBrew.
By the way, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS's system Perl is 5.18. RHEL 7 should have Perl
5.16 if the Fedora 19 release it was forked from was not altered.
Bottom line, looks like system Perl is getting younger. Not upgradable perhaps,
but still something.
