Perl 5.10 is still used on solaris 11, which is still used.  Not
necessarily a showstopper, though, as on such a platform with old
packages it would make more sense to install older podlators modules
versions.

As a side note, I don't know if there is such information gathered by
perl core people, but a place to see which perl versions are in use,
although it may miss some platforms and show discontinued distributions
(Centos 6 for instance) is here:
