Source: perl Version: 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 Severity: wishlist In the jessie release cycle we decided to upload a maintenance release of 5.20.x, which was quite successful (though we noted a full archive rebuild would be needed in the future), due to one regression.
Considering a similar process for stretch, upstream is up to 5.24.4, so it would be interesting to analyse the delta between these two releases, to see if there are any changes which would benefit our users.
