Hi ,

You should probably try 5.7.0 witch is much more stable than 5.6.0 (you
should not try unicode stuff , whitch is quite buggy)

I use 5.7.0  on all my production servers without any problems .

Best

5.7.0 may have fixed some of the bugs of 5.6.0 but it is a dev release
(anything where the subversion is odd is a dev release).  I don't think
anyone working on the Perl core would recommend the use of a dev release
in production unless you absolutely need a piece of functionality present
in that particular dev release.

I'd suggest using 5.00503 until 5.6.1 comes out, which should fix lots of
bugs.
