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.
