Yay!! ... congrats hippo ... it made it !!
When we say "latest version" are we talking about latest "stable release" ? ... or latest "devel release" ? ... or current "blead" ?

I generally run the latest "devel release" because, if there's a problem brewing re the OS/compiler combo that I use or with any of the modules that I maintain, then I want to know about it "toot sweet". One thing I've learned over the years, on Windows, is that you can't trust p5p.
A more committed perl programmer would probably be recompiling perl from git source every time a new commit was made, but I don't have the energy for that.

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

Luckily, voting is not compulsory here !!!

Cheers,
Rob
