Hi All,
In case you haven't heard, Perl 5.10 was released today!
See the official press release at:
http://news.perlfoundation.org/2007/12/perl_510_now_available.html
And two great presentations that cover the new and exciting features in
5.10:

Highlights include:
- State variables
- Built in "inside out" object support, for quicker/easier OOP
- An official, and highly flexible, switch statement
- A great generic comparison operator, "~~", for comparing pretty
much anything against anything else.
- many, many other new features and improvements.
Oh, and tomorrow is the 3rd Thursday, anyone want to grab a beer?
Happy holidays,
Mike
