Re^2: qr bug in perl 5.6.1 with lexicalsby JavaFan (Canon) |

5.6.1 is completely unsupported. It is dead. It is so entirely dead that if a security flaw allowing privilege escalation was uncovered, the most likely reponse from the Perl 5 Porters would be to recommend you upgrade.It's unsupported in the sense that there is a 5.6.2. There was a posting on #p5p today that someone is planning to make a 5.6.3 release. So, I wouldn't say that the 5.6.x branch is entirely unsupported. But yes, 5.6.1 is as unsupported as 5.8.8 is. And for the same reason.
