Well, we do have perl-5.X, sans subversion. Which is admittedly not
exactly what you refer to, but I thought that changes in man

Most Perl 4 programs still work fine with any version of Perl 5. But
there were a couple of language changes between Perl 4 and Perl 5 that
actually make programs fail (but
