Today the Perl Foundation
announces the release of Perl 5.10, the
first major upgrade to the wildly popular dynamic programming
language in over five years. This latest version builds on the
successful 5.8.x series by adding powerful new language features
and improving the Perl interpreter itself. The Perl development
team, called the Perl Porters, has taken features and inspiration
from the ambitious Perl 6
project, as well as from chiefly academic languages and blended
them with Perl’s pragmatic view to practicality and usefulness.
