in thread What is modern Perl?

No, of course not. I know there were some problems with 5.8.0 (I even discovered one or two myself), and I was deeply grateful when 5.8.1 came out; 5.8.5 is working great in production for me now.

I was just using "5.8" as a cover term for "anything later than 5.7".
