AFAIK, applications working with 1_95_2 should still work with 1_95_5.
Don't know about 1_95_1.

As far as Perl is concerned - the expert on  the team was Clark Cooper,
who is not active anymore. Currently we have no one who specializes
on the Perl bindings for Expat.

However, this is all a volunteer effort, and it often starts out
by asking for fixes/features without success, then implementing
them oneself, and finally contributing them back to the project. ;-)
