    Thanks for the heads up on this. I spend most of my perl browsing time at Perl Monks and these little news bits help keep me somewhat up to date on whats going on in the world of Perl outside The Monastery Gates.

    I think it would be nice if you described the changes since RC3. Besides, does news that is on use Perl also need to be posted here? I think people who care visit use Perl anyway.

    From use Perl:

    jhi writes "The same bat channel as for RC3, almost the same perldelta as for RC3. The main change from RC3 was a bunch of module updates (most importantly the CPAN.pm 1.76 which does not force feed Module::Signature)."
    Same message, but with a summary of changes.
