You may be right, but I would be interested in your listing any platform or distribution that ships a perl earlier than 5.6.1.

Well, let's have a try :)

nox 3% uname -aR
IRIX nox 6.5 6.5.22m 10070055 IP22
nox 4% perl -v

This is perl, version 5.004_05 built for irix-n32
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Solaris ships decent perl versions,but I don't know for AIX, Tru64 and HP/UX.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Newer AIX (5.1+) and HP-UX (11i+) both ship with 5.8 available. (HP-UX standard install may still come with perl4 installed, but 5.8 is there as an option now, iirc)

    C.

    Tru64 version 5.1a:

    $ perl -v
    
    This is perl, v5.6.0 built for alpha-dec_osf
    
    

    Tru64 version 5.1b:

    $ perl -v
    
    This is perl, v5.8.0 built for alpha-dec_osf
