He did ask about 'latest' versions ;)  Anything 5.8.3 or newer should
work just fine. 5.8.3-5.8.9 are all great. 

5.10.0 shipped with...many bugs and inconsitencies. When last I looked,
debian's 5.10.0 is somewhat patched up for the worst of these. I
wouldn't worry about running RT on Debian 5.10.0. But if you're
sourcebuilding a new perl for RT, my recommendation would be to skip
vanilla 5.10.0.
