in reply to ActivePerl 5.8 Beta 1: yea or nay?

Hi,

Well...when can you tell that the version is stable?

To my opinion, it is only stable when all your tests run successfull, and you are pleased with its stability in your environment.

Even when Active State delivers a full GA 5.8, it still contains bugs, and therefore can cause problems in your environment.

So, I would say, install it on a test server, and configure it to use with your application. When it runs fine, it has a good chance to be OK.

    True, but there's still more odd corners of perl than any one person can find.

    I meant this post to be a clearing house for caveats like "the CR/LF problem with sockets is still there", or other such items. That one, for instance, is not something my code would run into, since I'm not using perl for networking much at the moment.
