    Default Better to upgrade

    On our UNIX and BSD working stations, we are still using Perl 5.6. I'm
    trying to get the IT department to upgrade to 5.8 or even 5.9 if that is
    out.

    Is there any real benefit or gain in 5.8 over 5.6 ? And what of 5.9? A yahoo
    search did not give me anything over then FAQs, but not really what the
    changes are. It would be veddy nice to know.

    Thankie
