Re: Which version of perl comes with ...?

[afoken]

From a dusty corner of my server's RAID:

Slackware-8.1  perl-5.6.1
Slackware-9.0  perl-5.8.0
Slackware-9.1  perl-5.8.0
Slackware-10.2 perl-5.8.7
Slackware-11.0 perl-5.8.8
Slackware-11.0 perl-5.8.8
Slackware-12.0 perl-5.8.8
Slackware-12.1 perl-5.8.8
Slackware-12.2 perl-5.10.0
Slackware-13.0 perl-5.10.0
Slackware-13.1 perl-5.10.1

(Note that Slackware skipped the 5.x and 6.x releases, 7.0 directly followed 4.0.)

From ftp.slackware.at: Slackware 3.3 has Perl 5.004, patch 03

From ftp.gwdg.de: Slackware 1.1.2 has Perl Release 4.0 Patchlevel 36

Other historic Slackware versions are 250 km away on some dusty disks, so I can't look right now.
