Installing Perl 5.6.1

2001-08-27 Thread Steve Dondley
Situation: Debian ships with Perl 5.005. But there are more recent versions of Perl and Debian lists two versions of Perl 5.6.1, "testing" and "unstable". Questions: 5.6.1 has been out quite a while and Perl.com lists 5.6.1 as "stable". What about it is not considered "stable" for use on Debian?
