I'm on many tangents at the moment so I don't have the time to forge through to find it, but often, you can find discussion links within the perlexperiment documents for each version, as well as perldelta docs.

I'll have some time later, so state whether you've found something or not. If not, I'll dig up some conversations on the topic later when I can and post back.

I typically keep up with these things, but a long time has passed and I've forgotten. All this despite the fact I rarely ever use features beyond perl 5.8.9, unless I'm literally testing the experiments to learn (postderef was one I toyed with amongst many), or things I use for quick one-off test scripts while testing my distributions (say() out of 5.10 for example).
