I will tell you the situation, and you tell me how to classify it. :-)

The 5.005 series was a significant change from 5.004 because a lot of work was needed to make Windows one of the core platforms. Therefore the following releases happened in order:

5.004_04
5.005_00
5.005_01 (very shortly after IIRC)
5.005_02
5.005_03
5.004_05 (backported bug fixes for people who didn't switch)
5.6.0 (Note new numbering scheme)

If history repeats we would see more upgrades to 5.6.x, followed in due time by backported bug-fixes labelled 5.005_04.

So the last released version called stable before 5.6.0 was indeed 5.004_05.

Cheers,
Ben

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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 How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
