Debian/stable ships with Perl 5.10. It is fairly commonly turning up in
similar new releases, such as MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and other Linux
distributions.
I presume that *BSD and other commercial platforms will follow suit in the
next year or so.
While Perl 5.10 features may not be in wide use yet, I think the version
itself is fairly common these days.

Daniel
