From Rafael, yesterday on p5p: 
      When great or unexpected events fall out upon the stage of this
    sublunary word--the mind of man, which is an inquisitive kind of
    a substance, naturally takes a flight, behind the scenes, to see
    what is the cause and first spring of them--The search was not
    long in this instance.

This is perl 5.6.2.
It will be available soon from your favourite CPAN mirror as

    http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/R/RG/RGARCIA/perl-5.6.2.tar.gz

Its MD5 checksum is 6aa648d086ecda5400de3472dbe1ebfe.

Thanks to everyone who helped me to build, test and fix this new
maintainance release (and to everyone who provided the fixes for
5.8 that I backported into perl 5.6).  The use.perl announcement
will follow tomorrow.

Enjoy,
-- rgs

Edit by tye, remove significant trailing spaces
