Greetings Monks,

5.10.0 has been out for a while now. I am an early adopter with some software, such as mod_perl and apache, but I am a laggard with others, such as PostgreSQL and the Perl core. 5.10 has a lot of cool new stuff, and I'd like to get into it but the investment is fairly significant for me.

So being Lazy, I'd like to ask the Monks here if they have upgraded to 5.10.0 yet. I'm still running 5.8.8, but would like to start using 5.10 and get it onto my production systems, but am wondering if I should wait for 5.10.1. Tell me your success stories of upgrading to 5.10.0, or your stories about trying to do that but there was something you needed to wait for 5.10.1 to push it to production.

UPDATE - one of the reasons that this has come to mind now for me is the recent release of mod_perl 2.0.4, the 'works with 5.10' release.
