5.38.1 installed normally for me on 10+ installations and works fine with the 100+ modules i installed.

From what i can tell, the main change in the new release is Module::CoreList, which should be easily fixable by installing the new version on the existing 5.38.1 installation.

But of course, since the new Perl release also comes with a new B::Op_private, ye olde cpan upgrade will fail with an error in the middle of the process :-(

To be clear, i'm not complaining that perlporters had to make an emergency bugfix release; in fact i'm glad that everyone reacted quickly and efficiently. I'm just frustrated that all the work i did monday was now made worse-than-useless, and i have to run through that whole process again. If this problem had happened on a normal feature relase, i wouldn't have started the upgrade process for a couple of weeks. But since it was an important patch for some security problems, i started right away...

Oh well, back to building pyramids.
