As I said, I do not really know the details. This is not my main work, but an application for which I only work occasionally. It was previously working on 5.8, if I remember correctly (or perhaps 5.10, but I think it was 5.8), and they decided to upgrade because they wanted to use threads in a new framework developped internaly, and, apparently, it does make a difference. I do not know the details personally, but I would tend to trust the person who proposed that upgrade decision, because I know it is someone who usually knows fairly well what he is doing.
But the point is that the improvement was compared to Perl 5.8, not a more recent version.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link or
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
