http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/P/state_of_eight.html I am aware that the navigation links on that page may well be bust. It also may look foul in those decadent graphical browser things.

HTMLized version of the current perldelta.pod at: http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/P/perldelta.html I've not checked it, and I believe that mpod2html (Marek::Pod::HTML) is getting some things wrong, such as putting all of the paragraph proceeding an indented block into <code></code> Bugs in the content should go via perlbug (from the 5.7.3 you've downloaded...) preferably as a corrective patch to pod/perldelta.pod. I'm aware of some wording that I'd like to change slightly. Phillip Newton will probably beat me to it. Leon asked when perl 5.8 was expected to be released. Stupid me. I didn't know, and I should have been ready for that question. Jarkko's 5.7.3 release message says: This is the release 5.7.3 of Perl. This is the last developer release (5.7.x) before the next major public release (5.8.0). The current intent is to release Perl 5.8.0 in April or May, the Release Candidate 1 is planned to be released Monday the 8th of April. and he says that this plan is currently unchanged. What is the world's current favourite pod2html conversion utility? Nicholas Clark -- Even better than the real thing: http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/
