Is it too late to do this with 5.38, or is there something special about 5.40?

    It's definitely too late for the "Before May" option for 5.38. :-)

    G'day Arunbear,

    My timestamp on this post is "May 20, 2023 at 08:54 AEST"; yours is probably "May 19, 2023 at 23:54 BST".

    If you look in perlhist, you'll see that the most common release date, for v5.x.0 stable releases (x is even), is May or June (in the last decade or so).

    Given that the previous 11 development versions (v5.37.1 to v5.37.11) were all released on the 20th of consecutive months, I was half expecting v5.38.0 to be released on 20/5/23 (unless there was a further v5.37.12) on that date. As it turns out, no further versions have been released yet.

    In 2023, all of "Before May" and "1-15 May", as well as a fair chunk of "16-31 May", had already gone; hence my "I wish I had thought of this earlier".

    So, yes, it's too late for v5.38.0; and, no, there's nothing special about v5.40.0 beyond the not unreasonable expectation that it will be released in 2024, probably around May or June.
