Older versions of perl (pre 5.6) had some problems being compiled in to apps such as mod_perl and stuff, but 5.6.1 or above "should" be fine.

Go bleeding edge, nice one Redhat! <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/index.html#linux">http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/index.html#linux</a> This would probably have quite a few known bugs and possibly memory leaks. I recommend that you update your version of Perl, to 5.8.7 which is the latest stable version (anything above that is experimental). Or you could downgrade to a trusty version of Perl 5.6.x Cheers rob. </body> </html>
