Hello listmates,
What are the proven/tested version of Perl for CentOS 6 and 7? Is Perl 6 operational on either?
Thanks.
Boris.

C6 comes with perl 5.10.1 C7 comes with perl 5.16.3
Additionally, there are software collections available for Perl 5.16 and 5.20:

I can't speak for Perl 6, but a cursory search suggests that neither CentOS 6 nor 7 have readily available packages.

But packages aside, as Linux is UNIX-like system, you can always install it UNIX way: download tarball from perl site, compile and install it. You will have to do your own work maintaining it whenever updates are necessary.

just don't replace the stuff in the system directories. build your custom perl to live in /usr/local or /opt or something.

Thanks, sure, all of the above makes sense. My question was primarily aimed at those who have at least tried to run Perl 6 on CentOS and actually have some practical experience to report.
Cheers,
Boris.

EPEL has it for CentOS 6, but not 7. The package is "rakudo-star", it's a 2011 version. You can also rebuild the packages from Fedora rawhide which have a 2015 version.
