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
