5.8 is perfectly backward compatible and no exception has been thrown in my period of it's usage. I have recently upgraded from 5.6.1 to 5.8 and my old scripts run perfecly fine. So any script that is good enuff for 5.6 is good enuff for 5.8

I am writing and/or modifying some perl scripts - they have they r for test automation for installation of some product and/or its patches , scripts have basic requoirement as perl 5.6.1 must be installed on the machine wherever r scripts gona fired , now my question could it make a difference(such as script may not run) if it s an upgraded 5.8 version instead of 5.6 ?
