A former colleague of mine working with perl quite extensively pointed
out those 5.10 problems (related to perl warning messages which were
unable to narrow down the offending source code line).

Just asked him. These problems are fixed in 5.10.1 and although he
doesn't use 5.10.1 in his historically grown production environment many
people from #dbix-class, #catalyst, and #moose already do.

This is 2nd hand information, but doesn't sound too bad.
