Hi all,
Looking back to the last "major" release of Perl (and perl for the pedants in the room), what have been the major changes from 5.6.1 until now? I know, I can read the perl5xydelta pods (and did), but they're pretty dry and going through 10 or so of them, I can't help but feel that I'm missing something. Some of the things I came up with:
- In-memory file handles
- Better Unicode support
- Sorting algorithm changed (from quicksort to mergesort)
- Updated core modules
- reverse optimized for certain situations
- Bug fixes
- ...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
