That (`use 5.10`) will give an error, because it means to require perl version 5.100.000. Instead, say `use 5.010;` or `use 5.010_000;` or `use 5.10.0;` or `use v5.10;` or `use v5.10.0;`. (I've fallen to this trap yesterday when trying 5.10 out, but the error message is nice enough: `Perl v5.100.0 required (did you mean v5.10.0?)--this is only v5.10.0, +stopped at -e line 1.
