This isn't a technical question but it does pertain to perl. I was wandering if anyone else was blind sided by this or if i just missed the warning memo?

Any chances on them releasing or liscensing the source code out to the perl community in order to assist those who still loyally use it?

Curious to hear your comments, thanks - Bob
