I know Tom already answered this, but just to add a bit more information,
5.6.0 wasn't particularly stable.  It had a few bugs that weren't *huge*,
but which were more than I was comfortable with.  A lot of us are waiting
for 5.6.1.

Er, 5.005_64 is one of the 5.6.0 pre-releases.  That's not Perl 5.005;
that's equivalent to requiring 5.6.0 for most people.
