Re^2: Version, version, why change the version.

Within 5.6 and 5.8, it's probably good to upgrade to get the lastest bug fixes.

To go from 5.6 to 5.8 is less compelling. I presume many did the jump to obtains proper Unicode support. Other features were added as well (complete history). The jump is not too bad; code and modules that worked in 5.6 should work in 5.8, but they will need to be recompiled.

And of course, going from 5 to 6 will be a major undertaking. That jump is practically equivalent to a language switch.

Hey! Perl5 do not have switch !
(Switch.pm isn't really an option)

Hmmm... may be this is one of the reasons why we should do language switch to perl6?
