[sf-perl] What version of perl and what OS do you use? [poll]

[Jonathan Swartz]

At my latest job, I've started to treat critical vendor software  
(Perl, Apache, and all CPAN modules) the same way as the web code: it  
is all under version control, and it all gets rsynced out to  
production during a release. Still too early to tell whether this is  
overkill. But I do feel highly organized and it's nice not to have to  
worry about which modules are installed where.
