Last night's mirror changed latest.tar.gz to point to 5.6.0. Meanwhile
P5P is still arguing over the phrasing of the release announcement. Is
it "the newest major release in over 20 months", or is it the "newest
release - the product of nearly 2 years of development"? Only time will
tell. Next week, on "As the Perl Turns."
