Now for sugar, -- nay, our plan
Tolerates no work of man.
Hurry, then, ye golden bees;
Fetch your clearest honey, please,
Garnered on a Yorkshire moor,
While the last larks sing and soar,
From the heather-blossoms sweet
Where sea-breeze and sunshine meet,
And the Augusts mask as Junes, --
Eleanor makes macaroons!

       -- James Russell Lowell, "Eleanor makes macaroons"

The second release candidate for Perl 5.12.4 has just been uploaded to PAUSE. Shortly, you should be able to find it here.

A list of the changes in this release will be in the delta.

SHA1 sums for this release are:

5637b9d25b599400ca8ea1c0c3aac64af4580074  perl-5.12.4-RC2.tar.bz2
76995f42de81daa8c78da3edf0294836cc81ecb6  perl-5.12.4-RC2.tar.gz

[download]

It's very important that you test this release with any software written in Perl which you use or maintain. If no "showstopper" class bugs are found in the next few days, we will release a virtually identical tarball as Perl 5.12.4.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
