Keep in mind though that end of extended support for RHEL7 is this August (if I'm reading their timeline correctly) and they're already pretty much in the "nothing but critical/important security fixes" phase (unless you have an extended support subscription maybe).

The cake is a lie.

G'day Fletch,

Thanks for this additional information. After a bit of digging around, it looks like RHEL8/CentOS8 will have Perl 5.26.3.

I'm not sure how the dates affect us. I'll pass this on.

For reference:

In "Red Hat Customer Portal: 15.1.4. Notable changes in Perl": "Perl 5.26, distributed with RHEL 8, ..." [there may be better sources than this]
From Tux' CSV:

270 centos 8.2.2004 2020-06-15 5.26.3

271 centos 7.8.2003 2020-04-27 5.16.3

1459 redhat RHEL-8.3 2020-11-04 5.26.3

1460 redhat RHEL-7.9 2020-09-18 5.16.3
