 Replying to [comment:6 dluke@…]:
 > That seems OK to me, although I'm also happy with just having perl5.10
 become the default perl for us already.

 I agree with that. Perl 5.10 will even be in Debian/stable. So, I suppose
 that the main problems have been solved.

 perl port.]

 I'd say that for the time being, there is no need to replace core modules
 with perl 5.10 (since it is recent enough). But the problem may arise in
 the future.
