Both 5.8.9 and 5.10.0 are very recent releases. There are *plenty* of people still using 5.8.8, because 5.8.8 was, for a very long time, the most recent version of perl.
When you say similar things about people still using perl 5.6 then you do at least have a valid point. But saying that about 5.8.8 seems just crazy.

5.10.0 are very recent releases.
Not so long ago, software whose latest release was a year and a half ago wasn't considered "very recent", but "old, outdated" and possibly "dead".
Now, I don't agree with the latter part, but I certainly don't consider a release that is a year and a half old as "very recent".

So everyone using the current release of Mac OS X should install their own Perl to use Moose?

Really?. That looks like 4 modules to me with only 2 as non-core.

It's only three things (Test::Exception, Test::More, and Sub::Uplevel, right?), but they still look like three pieces of test silliness that I will only want for the ten seconds required to run some tests to placate the CPAN shell and avoid typing "force install Moose."
