In case you missed it 5.12 is out.
http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.12.0/
Some rather interesting changes:
http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.12.0/pod/perl5120delta.pod
Some of the most interesting:
The yada yada operator
implicit strictures
Unicode improvements
Y2038 compliance
Pluggable keywords (this looks really scary powerful...for those that
understand it)
smart match changes
compress::raw::bzip2 now a core module
new documentation on performance techniques
http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.12.0/pod/perlperf.pod
Like most releases I might wait for 5.12.1 to come out but I think they
learned from the pain of 5.10.0 so it is probably rather usable...we'll see.
