in reply to Perl 5.11.0 now available

I read them both—I really did!—and I don't see any difference between the delta for Perl 5.10.1 and that for Perl 5.11.0. Can some more knowledgeable fellow spell out the difference?

    Really? They are different, perl5110delta describes the differences from 5.10.0 The all important Yada Yada operator (...) is only available in 5.11.0
      Yes, it's a good point that I neglected the poor Yada Yada operator! You prompted me to do what I should have done in the first place …. According to the all-knowing diff, aside from such obvious differences as one delta mentioning 5.10.1 where the other mentions 5.11.0, we have:
      • Unicode interpretation of … redefined.
      • Labels can't be keywords.
      • length undef = undef and a grab-bag of other small, pleasant stuff (see lines 376–408 of perl5110delta).
      • miniperl and internals stuff.
      • Changes in parsing of #line.
      • An extra method for tied filehandles.
      • The \N escape (I could have sworn I saw it in the 5.10.1 delta, but it seems not!)
      • Implicit strictures via use VERSION
      • The all-important Yada Yada operator
      Then I got too tired to read through all the module changes. :-)
