Perl 5.9.0

[h...@crypt.org]

What of October, that ambiguous month
-- Doris Lessing 'Martha Quest'

Perl 5.9.0 is now available, and a somewhat more official announcement
will follow when mirrors have had a chance to catch up. In ~CPAN/src or
~CPAN/authors/id/H/HV/HVDS:

4688 Jul 18 23:31 perl-5.9.0.readme
9478487 Oct 27 02:59 perl-5.9.0.tar.bz2
11905830 Oct 27 03:17 perl-5.9.0.tar.gz

For your convenience, an equivalent snapshot has also been released.
Note that to cater for parallel development, an additional directory
level has been created for the 5.9.x snapshots:

ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/snap/5.9.x/pe...@21538.tgz
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/snap/5.9.x/pe...@21538.tbz
http://www.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/snap/5.9.x/pe...@21538.tgz
http://www.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/snap/5.9.x/pe...@21538.tbz
rsync rsync.nic.funet.fi::perlsnap

(Note also that the previous snapshot was erroneously called
perl@21938; it has now been renamed to the more appropriate
perl@21398.)

Have appropriate amounts of fun,
