Yes, I'm using the Perl that is managed by Red Hat for 7.9 version of their OS.
rpm -qf /bin/perl perl-5.16.3-299.el7_9.x86_64

    Red Hat for 7.9 version of their OS

    Just in case you were unaware, that support from RedHat will cease on the 30th of June 2024 - ie. less than a year from now. Unless your organisation wants to pay for ELS you should be working on an exit/upgrade strategy today.

      I was aware the EOL was coming soon, although not the exact date. When we upgrade OS versions is not something our development team controls. That said, I have heard some discussions around moving to Red Hat GNU/Linux 8 soonish. While the Perl version is 5.16.3 the Red Hat build number is 299, built back in Jan 2021 (2.5 years ago).

    Uhm, i wouldn't exactly say that a one-decade-out-of-support software is "managed", i'd certainly look into upgrading the whole system to more modern software for security reasons.
