5.8.2 was released 20 minutes ago, and it's making its way to your local CPAN mirror right now. 
  Passage, immediate passage! the blood burns in my veins!
  Away O soul! hoist instantly the anchor!
  Cut the hawsers - hall out - shake out every sail!                  
+   
  Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough? 
  Have we not grovel'd here long enough, eating and drinking like mere
+ brutes?  
  Have we not darken'd and dazed ourselves with books long enough?    
+          

  Sail forth - steer for the deep waters only,
  Reckless O soul, exploring, I with the and thou with me,
  For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go,
  And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.

  O my brave soul!
  O farther farther sail!
  O daring job, but safe! are they not all the seas of God?
  O farther, farther, farther sail!

  Passage to India - Walt Whitman
