    jeek writes "Perl 5.7.3 is out. This should be the last development version before 5.8.0 comes out in April or May." You can download it from CPAN or get a copy of it from SourceForge.net. If you have some free time try downloading it and testing it. According to the included perldelta.pod file, the highlights are: better Unicode support, new thread implementation, many new modules, better numeric accuracy, safe signals, and a completely overhauled and improved regression test suite.

    Pudge tells me that perl 5.6.1 is released. Tell your boss you won't get any work done today, you have to, er, upgrade your personal knowledgebase of evolving regularly expressional technology. Then test every one of the bugfixes, like ""a\nxb\n" =~ /(?!\A)x/m". Pick your favorite new feature or bugfix from the announcement and tell us about it.
