OS X 10.7.3 has Perl 5.12.3 (default) and Perl 5.10.1.

Yes I have a 10.3 iBook still lying around here with Perl 5.8.1. But I wonder what happened to 5.8.4 (perl-28.2 package)? Looks like a missing Mac OS X :)

With Apple’s versioning I’m hoping that 10.7 will have 5.8.9, 5.10.1 & 5.12.* when it comes out.

- 10.0.0 – 5.6.0 (assume)
- 10.1.0 – 5.6.0 (assume)
- 10.2.0 – 5.6.0
- 10.3.0 – 5.8.1RC3
- 10.4.0 – 5.8.6
- 10.5.0 – 5.8.8
- 10.6.0 – 5.8.9+5.10.0
- hopefully 10.7.0 will have 5.12.0 or later

Also, Apple never upgraded its system Perl except with a major OS X version; only security patches otherwise.
