On a side note, I'm strongly considering moving to Perl 5.12
after public-inbox 1.7 is released.  perl 5.12.4 will be a
decade old in a few months (however 5.12.5 was Nov 2012).

It seems the various 5.12.x releases had fewer breaking bugfixes
than 5.10.0 => 5.10.1, so "use v5.12" should be fine.

The main reason I want 5.12 is it enables strict implicitly,
reducing syscalls and startup time:

  strace -c perl -Mstrict -e exit # 208 syscalls
  strace -c perl -Mv5.12 -e exit  # 186 syscalls

It also allows "delete local" and some other things, but
I'm not yet sure about the "unicode_strings" feature bit...
