I'm going to release Perl 5.36.1 to Cygwin in a few days. I've skipped 5.34 in order to update only every second year (which I've done since the 5.22 release). I haven't seen any trouble in my own Perl distribution packages from the update even though there are lots of them that haven't been updated since at least 5.22. So I hope it will be smooth sailing for anything else depending on Perl also. Any maintainer having packages that depend on perl5_032 should re-release or upgrade these soon-ish after the Perl update is available, as otherwise users are either blocked from upgrading Perl or will have to uninstall the affected packages. The rebuilt packages need to have a dependency on perl5_036, which cygport provides automatically.
There's an updated report available [1], which should list the affected packages.
