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.
