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.
