what would be the minimum version of perl required to upgrade?
For features that already existed in 3.3 I believe the requirement for version of perl has not changed, should work with 5.8.2 or later, possibly even with 5.8.0 (perhaps with some Unicode-related problems). If you need IPv6 support, the minimal useful version of perl would be 5.14, which brought Socket::getaddrinfo and friends in its Socket module. Perl 5.16 or 5.18 are the recommended version for IPv6 support. If given a choice, I'd go with 5.16 or 5.18 anyway. Mark
