Heh - and Debian is only just wrapping up the perl 5.12 transitioned - see http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/perl.html

Sad to say, the enterprise distros are pretty behind the times on packaging perl. RHEL 6 shipped with perl 5.10.1. Fedora is reasonably caught up.

Debian is only just catching up on Perl 5.12 - but that's on twelve or so
architectures and across 25,000 packages, any of which may include or reference Perl. That's an order of magnitude larger than anyone else ...

Oh, I didn't mean to imply I was faulting Debian for this. It's more a matter of somewhat bad timing - they couldn't do it earlier with the Squeeze freeze, and since the release there's been quite a few transitions.
I was just wondering whether they could have instead jumped from 5.10 to 5.14 in one go (maybe ill-advised), or whether they could move quickly to 5.14 while everyone is still going through the motions of the 5.12 transition (probably makes little difference in amount of work).

Yeah, we had quite a lot of other transitions waiting after the squeeze freeze ended and the release team likes to prevent them from getting entangled.
