in thread Why upgrade perl?
At some point older versions will not be supported and have unpatched security vulnerabilitiesI don't think this is valid argument for RHEL. They maintain and fix perl by their selves AFAIK.
module updates won't run on older versions of PerlI didn't see much modules, which won't work on perl 5.10 and even 5.8 (but I didn't check some huge frameworks)
