I know it's getting close to lock, but there's a minor perl update on
the horizon that I think would be nice to have in for 6.2 so I thought
I'd send out the RC1 to gather feedback in hopes that it will make it.

I am not quite sure when the actual release of 5.24.3 will be, but
usually it is about a week after the last RC, so I would expect sometime
next week unless they find a need for another one.


The perl changes are described in the perldelta:
(I'd list them here, but it's surprisingly long)
https://metacpan.org/pod/release/SHAY/perl-5.24.3-RC1/pod/perldelta.pod


A patch you should be able to apply to -current is here:
http://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/perl-update/OpenBSD-perl-5.24.3-RC1.patch

Or, you can download the pre-patched files
(which includes some extra perldeltas and tests that I didn't cvs add)
http://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/perl-update/OpenBSD-perl-5.24.3-RC1.tar.gz

Or, of course, you can build your own version with what is on github:
https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl/


I will be on the Oregon coast in a tent this weekend, so while I will
bring my laptop, I doubt it will get much use or have much Internet.

People who invent random theories which only defend the vendor must have
been beaten as children.  Beaten with sticks.
At least, that's my theory.
