FWIW-

$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris-64int
(with 48 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

another server I don't control (and which will soon be decomissioned)
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for amd64-freebsd
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)


a laptop (strawberry)
>perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

same laptop
>\cygwin\bin\perl.exe -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i686-cygwin-thread-multi-64int
(with 12 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

a different laptop (Activestate)
C:\Documents and Settings\Friend>perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)


a different server
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for OpenBSD.i386-openbsd-thread-multi

another server
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i386-netbsd

Looks like I've been pretty good about keeping things up-to-date (and
about using every major flavor of BSD!). I was "scared" into upgrading
from 5.10.0 by reading about a performance regression on subroutine
calls that happened between 5.8 and 5.10.0, though I didn't really
follow the discussion.
