If I remember right, this is Larry Wall's birthday. *And*,
supposedly the day for the real release of Perl5. Is this
true?

It will take another week or so. That's Hofstadter's law: It takes
longer than you think, even if you consider Hofstadter's law.

Darn it, you shouldn't have pointed that out. Now it'll take another
week or two beyond that.

Oops, I shouldn't have said that...

Seriously, things have just been incredibly hectic for me lately. Sigh.
They say life begins at 40, but they never say what kind of life.

Anyway, the documentation is pretty much done now, as of last Thursday.
The release is mostly waiting on my finding time to fix the bugs my
beta testers have gleefully been pointing out. My Bugs directory
currently contains 27 files.
