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.

        Again (and again) you ignore the fact that not everybody is in a position to install new Perl binaries, while, as we tell everybody, it's easy to install Perl modules locally, even distributed with your program. But we've been there before, so I don't need to detail it further.
