Re: Which version of perl comes with ...?

I think it is (was?) SUNs policy to bundle the latest, and the previous shipped version of Perl (So, when the time comes to make Solaris X, it would include the current version of Perl, and whatever was shipped with Solaris X-1). Which would mean there isn't a simple "OS-version" to "Perl-version" mapping.

I guess you are joking ;). It's correct that Solaris ships with two versions, but it's certainly not the latest: Solaris 10 ships 5.8.4 and 5.6.1 (to be removed). Solaris 11 express (the preview of Solaris 11 coming out at the end of 2011) was out last month and comes with Perl 5.10.0 and 5.8.4 (repository). C.	[reply]
