perl 5.12.0 has been released

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

To quote the pumpking:
--8<---
'Please would you tell me,' said Alice, a little timidly, for she was
not quite sure whether it was good manners for her to speak first,
'why your cat grins like that?'

'It's a Cheshire cat,' said the Duchess, 'and that's why. Pig!'

She said the last word with such sudden violence that Alice quite
jumped; but she saw in another moment that it was addressed to the baby,
and not to her, so she took courage, and went on again:--

'I didn't know that Cheshire cats always grinned; in fact, I didn't
know that cats COULD grin.'

'They all can,' said the Duchess; 'and most of 'em do.'

-- Lewis Carroll, /Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/

I'll start building depots for all my HP-UX boxes as soon as possible, and keep y'all informed here on the progress.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn [ who is unlikely to give points to replies here ]

Hello,

Please explain here the steps of building/publishing new depots for HP-UX. A lot of people here say something like this:

"This is a new version of software and is not 'trusted'/might have a lot of bugs/etc... on HP-UX. We must wait for HP to actually publish a depot".

And most of them would not install the software from the source (tarball).

And a very few of them would actually read the changelog.

Congratulations for the new release! It means a lot for open source community.

Best regards from Romania,
Horia.
