Perl 5.8.1 Released

Posted by CowboyNeal on Saturday September 27, 2003 @02:55AM from the new-and-shiny-camels dept.

langles writes "Perl 5.8.1 has been released. Read the official announcement, then download it from a CPAN mirror near you. If you've been following the Perl5 Porters List, you'll know this version was very well tested before they released it. However, there may be some modules that will need to be fixed before they will work with this release." The announcement also contains full details on incompatibilities and known issues, so give it a once over before upgrading, especially if from a pre-5.8 version.

and now they release both a new perl and a new slackware, after 3 months of unemployment. I say they do it to pester me.
