Huh? 

$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i686-linux

What does the operating system have to do with anything?

    It's the only widely used modern operating system I know of which includes Perl as part of the default installation but hasn't upgraded to a recent release.

      What, so now as well as tracking the bleeding edge of perl you think that people will (maybe even "should"?) also track the bleeding edge of their *operating system*?

        ... as well as tracking the bleeding edge of perl...

        As you very well know, Perl 5.10 is sixteen and a half months old. Perl 5.8.8 is 39 months old. Any bleeding in these versions has long since become faded scars.

        I have difficulty believing that someone who hasn't upgraded Perl in three years uses Moose in production environments. Read any categorical imperative between these lines you wish; I haven't offered one.
