Want Perl 5 12.0 soon?

jesse, the person currently providing much of the momentum that makes Perl move towards next releases, says:

Turning blead into a stable release of Perl is a lot of work. Doing it well is even more work. As it looks like we're coming to a consensus on a smaller set of changes making it into point releases, it's increasingly important that our .0 releases are well tested, well polished and good enough to run in production.

He needs your help to identify (and potentially write and submit tests for)

issues that are no longer a problem in current blead
issues that might block the release of 5.12.0

Jesse is quite right. Unfortunally, this was also true (and expressed) for 5.10. And that still took 5 years - many people wanted 5.10, but only a few did the actual work. Luckily, there were still a few people who did it. Otherwise, we'd still be waiting. Hopefully, this time there will be more people with both tuits and time to help get 5.12 out of the door.	[reply]
