Please test with your work code to find any bugs as I'll release the 5.12.4 soon.
Cheers, Leon. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Léon Brocard <a...@astray.com> Date: 8 June 2011 15:48 Subject: Perl 5.12.4-RC1 is now available To: Perl 5 Porters <perl5-port...@perl.org> Pheasant is pleasant, of course, And terrapin, too, is tasty, Lobster I freely endorse, In pate or patty or pasty. But there's nothing the matter with butter, And nothing the matter with jam, And the warmest greetings I utter To the ham and the yam and the clam. For they're food, All food, And I think very fondly of food. Through I'm broody at times When bothered by rhymes, I brood On food. -- Ogden Nash, "The Clean Plater" I've just uploaded the first release candidate for Perl 5.12.4 to PAUSE. You should be able to find it at: http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.12.4-RC1/ Changes are at: http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.12.4-RC1/pod/perl5124delta.pod SHA1 sums for this release are: c46cfc3016367115898d9de8d61847d090b6bd18 perl-5.12.4-RC1.tar.bz2 820fecbd90f645306818a92bffdd5af585ad41df perl-5.12.4-RC1.tar.gz It's very important that you test this release with any software written in Perl which you use or maintain. If no "showstopper" class bugs are found in the next few days, we will release a virtually identical tarball as Perl 5.12.4. Cheers, Leon.
