Re^2: I prefer not to run the latest version of Perl because:

"I actually do prefer to run "the latest version of Perl" and that I am therefore unable to cast a truthful vote."

Ditto -- no vote cast.

I suggested a way to handle this situation in "Re^2: poll ideas quest 2023 (perl version)": "an option should be provided for those with the opposite preference".

And it was a good suggestion (as were some others). Unfortunately I've been busy and did not have time to collate/deploy all those good suggestions before the poll idea suddenly became a live poll. Sorry about that. In case anyone was wondering, the inspiration for the poll was Re^5: help with "symbol lookup error" message by syphilis. 🦛	[reply]

A mis-post from you? I guess we all have our days. I would be curious to see this poll again with options that might include: Today's latest and greatest software contains tomorrow's zero day exploits. Gruss aus Amiland, where our common life is a TruthSocial mispost	[reply]

It's a pity there's no "abstain" option, as I also prefer to run the latest stable release. However, I have 5.32 on this machine in my home office (Windows 10 box with Strawberry Perl) and I'm stuck with 5.16.3 on my shared hosting - one day I will change to VPS and have something a little more modern!

I agree. Running an up-to-date version of Perl makes sense to me, too. I would have to upgrade eventually, come what may. Might as well upgrade to a version that is actively supported and still accepting bug reports and has the latest security fixes. PerlMonks XP is useless?
