Different Perl Builds

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the difference is between the two different builds of perl? (5.8.x.x and 5.6.x.x)

I understand that they are different builds, but they are both maintained...

Is it like the Apache 1 and 2 branches? In that they are different builds, yet still being maintained?

Thanks!
