I'm doing a small compilation of perl versions included in distributions in the format: 
 Distribution     |  date  | Perl version | date
 --------------------------------------------------
 RedHat Linux 7.1   (4/01)   ?
 RedHat Linux 7.2  (10/01)   perl 5.6.0   (3/2000)
 RedHat Linux 7.3   (5/02)   perl 5.6.1   (4/01)
 RedHat Linux 8.0   (9/02)   perl 5.8     (7/02)
 RedHat Linux 9.0   (5/03)   perl 5.8

[download]
Is this information already somewhere I can get to ? Alternatively, If your OS is not listed here can you tell me what perl version came with it ? (release dates not as important as perl versions, and I'm using perl release dates listed in perlhist)
