Re^2: Old Perl vs New Perl

I didn't know there was a 10 until I started researching the release levels. My developers consider 5.8.8 bleeding edge, and for them it is, trust me.

One of my ops types suggested I just look at the release notes for 5.8 as that would have the most information, I'll try that.

Thanks! Much appreciated. L.

You should not care if something is bleeding edge, you should care if something is supported. 5.10 is supported and does everything that 5.8 does. I have had segment faults in 5.8 and I had to upgrade to 5.10 address those issues. If more bugs are found I trust they will be fixed in 5.10, 5.8 you take your chances.	[reply]
