Read perldelta.pod They come with your Perl distribution.
Debian based distro installs them in
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0/pod/perl*delta.pod
and Fedora seems to have them in
/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/pod/perl*delta.pod
I think we stick to something like early 5.8 to support platforms with
infrequent updates to Perl.
