Here is the first release candidate for perl 5.6.2. When the CPAN
mirrors will have synced it, it will be available from
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/R/RG/RGARCIA/perl-5.6.2-RC1.tar.gz
Before this, you can also rsync the current source tree from ActiveState :
rsync -avz rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com/perl-5.6.2/ .
Most changes happened in the compilation / configuration / installation
system.
I also upgraded the following modules : Data::Dumper, DB_File,
ExtUtils::MakeMaker, File::Spec, File::Temp, Safe, Test, and
Test::Harness ; and added Test::{Builder,More,Simple} and the if pragma.
Note that it contains MakeMaker 6.17 (as does perl 5.8.2), not the
recent 6.20, that was causing problems with the peculiar makefiles
of SDBM_File.
It's now time to find, report and fix the remaining build problems.
