Passage, immediate passage! the blood burns in my veins!
Away O soul! hoist instantly the anchor!
Cut the hawsers - hall out - shake out every sail!
Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
Have we not grovel'd here long enough, eating and drinking like mere brutes?
Have we not darken'd and dazed ourselves with books long enough?

Sail forth - steer for the deep waters only,
Reckless O soul, exploring, I with the and thou with me,
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go,
And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.

O my brave soul!
O farther farther sail!
O daring job, but safe! are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!

Thanks to all. I couldn't have done this on my own.

Oh my camel! It seems only last night when jhi released 5.8.1.
While I congrats this quick delivery of yours, I have a mixed feeling
on this since Encode remained unchanged. Though there were few places
to fix I have received at least 3 patches which remain uncommitted....

Next time before you $]++, please make sure to whip us, um, me for one,
harder, well, as hard as jhi.

Congrats, Nicholas. And many happy returns.

I'm glad that after a long time, Perl is back on 'release often'
schedule, and that you have the intention is keep it that way.

Who is responsible for http://perldoc.com/ ? 5.8.1 is missing, and 5.8.2 is
most welcome too I guess

Sorry to catch you unawares. I was assuming that everyone who might need
to know was either reading p5p, or Rafael's summaries.

I also tried to sync everything on CPAN, although I think the last sync
was about a week before release.

I fear I might be fairly lazy when it comes to whipping. I'll probably
mail p5p mid December to solicit the last minute patching frenzy.

I'd be quite happy to pull Encode from CPAN (in via blead) so that
the version shipped in the core got some testing from users prior to
5.8.3 RC1. That seems better than finding problems in the RC1 and then
rushing to fix them. My approach once I'm into RCs is more likely to back
out troublesome things than attempt to fix them. There will be another
5.8.x along soon.
