It should work just fine with any version of perl through the current 5.8.8. Angelox is right, perl goes to great pains to retain backwards compatibility (a strength AND weakness of the language). Perl 6 will be the first version of perl that is tossing backwards compatibility to the curb. While in perl 6 there will be a "legacy perl" mode to run older code, the language itself is about to change a lot for the better. But as of NOW there are no issues... so I cannot see how your perl version matters.
If perl isn't working right on your server, it must be due to something else, such as a config or installation problem.
