Besides, the latest release cycles (5.67, 5.77, 5.87) show that a new release is due just around 5.97 and that there are usually no serious fixes going into the releases. I can't speak for the author, but if you ask me - a release day is when Phil takes his time and updates his cpan repo. I don't really think that we can keep up with the rate ExifTools minor versions are appearing, but my point is that there's no bad thing in picking up an early (pre-)release. Anyway, I'm ready to agree with you whatever you decide and I don't see a need for a second port.
