Hmm.  I should look at that then.  Most Perl Modules are 5.5
compatible, unless they've been written by naive people recently. :)

H> I'm very surprised you say that 5.6 is more prevalent than 5.8.

For individual early adopters, 5.8 is nearly universal.  But a lot of
my corporate clients upgrade *very* slowly, and are on 5.6 for now.
