And a good number of parallel clusters outside EDA. ugh.

Yeah, that's the environment I'm in at work.
Fortunately, for the vast majority of scripting I have to do, I've been able to get away with having a "local" 5.12.1 build for our team and load up all the CPAN modules I want or need. Unfortunately, I can only use that environment within our site, so if I have to do something that runs cross-site, I likely have to fall back to the corporate standard 5.8 and the set of modules they've chosen to install.

I just got a feeling that in 2036, I'll find a VM deep inside a system in a corner of a massive data center still running Perl 5.8 and people running around in circle trying to migrate from 32bit time_t. Woohooo

Are you suggesting Perl 5.8 is the COBOL of our era? ;-)
