If you want to try out a new maintenance trial for the perl5.004_05 release, get thee to Tim Bunce's CPAN author's directory. Don't forget to report back using perlbug -ok.
Yes, perl5.004_05 is still alive and well and being maintained, primarily for the purpose of fixing bugs. But 5.005_02 is avaiable now and seems to be quite stable from all reports we've seen.
