Um... you seemed to have missed including perl all-together.
You got Ruby, Lua but you have *two* versions of python. Shouldn't
one of those been perl? ;-)?

I think perl 5.16.3 would be a safe choice:
IMO, perl-5.18 has incompatibilities w/existing code.

(New feature, "experimental warnings", is forced on,
by default (even if you haven't enabled warnings) and 5.18
changed a previous feature into experimental -- thus causing
any code using what was previously a stable feature to now
get runtime warnings. This causes problems with code that
used to work before 5.18. In some cases, programs won't run
at all.)

Since perl-5.18 is, by default, incompatible without changing the
source of old programs, I'd suggest 5.16.3 to be a safer choice.
