Well, yeah, because RHEL 6/Centos 6 are really ancient. That's what
I'd expect with a long-term-support distro that's nearly EOL.
Replacing its Perl version would go against the whole point of
an LTS distro.
Centos 8 ships with 5.14 (IIRC).
I don't have an actual Centos 8 machine handy to disprove that,
but the info I have says that RHEL8/Centos 8 branched off from
Fedora 28, and F28 most definitely shipped with Perl 5.26.
Looking at their git repo, the last few Fedora releases
shipped with
I can confirm that CentOS 8 has perl 5.26.3.
