Git seems to generally work with Perl 5.6 after installing Scalar::Util through CPAN. I'm happy with (sporadically) testing it with 5.6.2, though I don't have any older version installed. Also, if at some point Perl 5.6 compatibility gets in the way (due to lack of Unicode support), we'll have to revisit this issue, but for now that should be fine. Gitweb relies on Unicode support (e.g. "use Encode") and will continue to be compatible with 5.8 and 5.10 only. I'm not sure how much changes between Perl's micro versions. Should we boldly claim "use 5.6.0" or only "use 5.6.2"? Are people still using versions 5.6.0/1 at all? And for Gitweb, use 5.8.0, or use 5.8.8 (which is the version I'm testing with, currently)? Or should I downgrade? -- Lea
