Thank you all for another enjoyable meeting.

I mentioned several things to a few people that I thought others might
want to know about, so I'll share them here:

David Golden keeps a set of patches against old versions of Perl to
enable them to compil with recent build tools:
https://github.com/dagolden/perl/tree/private/maint-5.6.2
You can switch to any of the "private/maint-*" branches to get source
code for the perl you care about.

MetaCPAN offers a great way to search and browse CPAN:
https://metacpan.org/
It's open source, so you can run your own instance against CPAN or
your own private code.

DPath provides a neat, XPath-like way to query deep data structures in
Perl:
https://metacpan.org/module/Data::DPath

See you all soon,
Tom
