Hi there porters,
Perl 5.005 is a great version of Perl and still used by many people.
There have been a few distribution updates and tool changes which mean
that it no longer compiles cleanly everywhere, so I believe it's time
for another maintenance release of perl5.005, which will lead to
perl5.005_05.
Please compile and make test this release candidate on as many
platforms as possible:
http://acme.s3.amazonaws.com/perl/perl5.005_05-RC2.tar.gz
This is a release candidate. I'm interested in compilation fixes. I'm
not interested in fixing warnings.
It is hosted on the Perl 5 Git repository:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/log/refs/heads/maint-5.005
Which means you can see the Changes file here:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob_plain/6b83263:/Changes
See perlrepository.pod if you want to play with Git:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/pod/perlrepository.pod
Thanks! Léon
