time for perl 5.10.x in devel?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Along these lines...  Do we have a plan for including 5.10 in
F-9/devel?  With the RC out, it sounds like 5.10 will GA
not-too-horribly-soon from now, and we're at a point in devel where
it's probably the Right Time to think about bumping from 5.8 to 5.10.

They're probably quiet about it because they prefer coding over talking :-)

Perl 5.10-RC1 has been unleashed recently[1], full of nice new
features[2], borrowing some from (the still-vaporware) Perl6 (named
capture buffers!).
