Ricardo Signes will be giving a talk at YAPC::NA_2012 that he describes as:
There are almost twenty thousand lines of documentation describing
what has changed since perl 5.8. Those docs are where you can find
out that the // operator is awesome, or that the “r” flag on
substitution is going to save you typing and bugs, or that you can
stop worrying so much about your exception handling. Unfortunately,
they also contain a lot of talk about things like GSVS_mg_SLOPPY or
engine derecursivisation or what happens now if you try to reset a
glob reference during global destruction. With most common Unix
distributions now shipping Perl 5.12, and more and more workplaces
moving off 5.8, many programmers are faced with reading these
documents. Instead, you can come listen to the forty minute summary.
