Well, my older production machines are using 5.6.1 with mod_perl and that has been working very well for 8 months on VERY heavily used servers. After everything was debugged one machine has been up for 186 days with no trouble at all. Newer production machines are using Perl 5.8.1 as is my development machine, after many issues, hassles and downright nasty problems with 5.8.0 I moved to 5.8.1. Perl, Apache and mod_perl were all built locally. Perl 5.8.2 is out now for at least a week. I have not heard of any issues relating to its use. john >Cheers, >Andrew. > >-- >Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ >Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
