I plan to release perl 5.9.2, the next development version, as soon as the smokes settle down, just to be sure it compiles without problems on the major OSes -- Unixes, Windows and VMS, feedback on other platforms welcome.

The plan is to release often (and early) development versions, each time a new major change or feature is integrated into blead, until we reach 5.10.0. pack() changes and trie optimisation seem to be a good reason for a new release.

The goal is to have a development version of perl a bit more widely tested than by the core perl5-porters only; notably, tests against the major CPAN modules (e.g. the Phalanx 100) will be appreciated.

I have written a rough draft of the next perldelta (pod/perl592delta.pod in the bleadperl tree, or at the URL http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse?file=pod%2Fperl592delta.pod) I'm sure it's very incomplete and innaccurate, and you will probably want to submit patches against it :)

So it sounds like Rafael will be spending a lot of time finding quotes; keep an eye on Recent Perl Release Announcements to see what he chooses.
