Subject: [Announce] ActiveState releases ActivePerl build 626

ActiveState is pleased to announce the release of ActivePerl build 626,
based on Perl 5.6.1.

ActivePerl build 626 is available from:
http://www.ActiveState.com/Products/ActivePerl/index.html

This is the first release of ActivePerl based on the new maintenance 
release of Perl. This release is meant for use in production systems. 
Owing to the sheer volume of changes between Perl 5.6.0 
and 5.6.1 that have been incorporated, please be sure to 
test build 626 thoroughly in a non-critical environment before you 
upgrade your production systems.

Please check the perldelta.pod file in the ActivePerl documentation for
a 
list of the major changes in Perl. Only additional changes specific to 
ActivePerl are mentioned here.

Bug Fixes and Changes
* Perl 5.6.1 has been incorporated. See perldelta for a list of changes.
* The Solaris pkgadd and Red Hat RPM packages are now relocatable. See
the 
release notes for how to install them to a location other than the
default.
* The following new modules have been included: HTML-Tagset v3.03
* The following modules have been updated to newer versions: SOAP-Lite, 
HTML-Parser v3.19, HTML-Tree v3.11, URI v1.11, libwww-perl v5.51

For additional information on module updates in Perl 5.6.1, please see 
perldelta.

* A number of fixes to PPM have been included. PPM now displays a
download 
status indicator, and sports a "getconfig" command.
* A large number of documentation updates are included.

Enjoy!
