Perl 5 development continues as version 5.12 released
,----[ Quote ]
| The Perl 6 project, which aimed to radically
| reinvent the open source programming language,
| first began to take shape in 2000. A decade
| later, there are several implementations with
| varying levels of completeness, but it is
| still not ready to replace Perl 5 in
| production environments.
|
| In order to ensure that Perl doesn't
| completely stagnate during the protracted
| revamp, a group of developers have decided to
| pull Perl 5 out of maintenance mode and begin
| actively enhancing it with new features. The
| result is Perl 5.12, which was officially
| released this week. It was preceded by 5.11,
| an experimental development release that was
| issued last year.

Perl 5, Version Numbers, and Binary Compatibility
,----[ Quote ]
| As mentioned in What Perl 5's Version
| Numbers Mean, the written Perl 5 support
| policy must explain several guidelines and
| their implications.
|
| If you've ever upgraded between major
| versions of Perl 5 on the same machine,
| you've likely noticed that you have to
| install new versions of modules. Various
| resources spread across the Internet
| suggest the use of CPAN autobundles, but
| even that's likely enough to make you curse
| a little bit as you babysit a CPAN shell
| for an hour or two to get back to where you
| started.
