So far I have noted no differences whatsoever. Mostly the changes seem to be focused on internationalization and the inclusion of unicode in Perl's source code and data (like string compare operators). I have never done anything with all that; hence, no differences. Brian Mathis wrote: > > So has anyone tried out perl 5.6?

To: www.perl.com update -------------------------------------- The Email for www.perl.com Subscribers ============================================================ PERL GURUS Needed! UNIX/C/C++/CGI/Apache a must. Join small, server-side development team at WorldWinner.com. Venture funded, pre-IPO start-up in Newton, MA, slated to become the leading global destination for adults to compete in games of skill for cash prizes. Great benefits including pre-IPO stock options. debbief@worldwinner.com ============================================================ Hello, perl.com subscribers. New Perl is Here! At last, Perl 5.6.0 has been released. This is the first major release of Perl since 5.005 first appeared almost two years ago. The new Perl incorporates many, many enhancements and bug fixes. New features include better Unicode support and internet address constants. Master Wizard Gurusamy Sarathy has somehow gotten Perl to emulate Unix's `fork()' call on platforms that don't have it, like Windows. (Isn't that astounding?) For the complete announcement, see http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2000-03/msg02596.html This week, www.perl.com carries a feature article by Simon Cozens that provides an overview of what's new in 5.6.0. See http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/04/whatsnew.html?wwwrrr_20000418.txt for Simon's article. * Conferences Imminent * The summer conference season is almost upon us; the deadline for tutorial submissions at the O'Reilly Perl Conference is coming up in a couple of weeks. Full information about the conference is available at http://conference.oreilly.com/oscon2000/ Kevin Lenzo continues to quietly organize the second YAPC; registration should begin any day now. YAPC, or `Yet Another Perl Conference' is a low-cost community-organized Perl conference that will be held in Pittsburgh, PA from 21-23 June. Last year's YAPC was a tremendous success. Meanwhile, the organizers of the first YAPC Europe have been anything but quiet! Their mailing list is clogged with the final discussion about where and when the first European YAPC will be held. It looks as though it will happen this September in London. For more details about YAPC, visit: http://www.yapc.org/America/ (for Pittsburgh) http://www.yapc.org/Europe/ (for London) * Haiku Contest in Progress * At last year's Open Source Conferences, Perl luminary Damian Conway ran a haiku contest, with prizes generously supplied by O'Reilly. Damian started this year's contest early, and is accepting submissions now, and up until the winners are finally announced at this year's conference in Monterey. For details, see http://history.perl.org/CHI/ * Changes on p5p * Gurusamy Sarathy, the lead pumpking, was dismayed at how many good people in the past few years have been driven away from the p5p mailing list because of long, tedious flame wars, and proposed moderating the list. He suggested that a panel of referees be selected, who would have the power to moderate threads or individual posters if it became necessary. Amazingly, this suggestion has not yet provoked a long, tedious flame war---people seem to think it is a good idea. * New XML Developments * The last few weeks have seen an unusual number of new Perl module releases, including new versions of CGI.pm (now at version 2.66) and PDL (now at 2.005.) Of particular note is the 2.28 release of XML::Parser. Author Clark Cooper says that this will likely be the last release of the 2.00 series of the module, and he is going to start work on a 3.00 series that is substantially different. More details are available at http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/sgmlnew.html Look under `March 31'. Also, XML.com has an article by Michael Rodriguez about XML processing in Perl that provides an overview of the most important modules and what they do. If you've wanted to get started but weren't sure where to start, start here: http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/04/05/feature/index.html?wwwrrr_rss Thank you all. I will be in touch again at the beginning of May.
