Beeches are trees of the Genus Fagus, family Fagaceae, including about
ten species in Europe, Asia, and North America. The leaves are entire or
sparsely toothed. The fruit is a small, sharply-angled nut, borne in
pairs in spiny husks. The beech most commonly grown as an ornamental or
shade tree is the European beech (Fagus sylvatica).
The southern beeches belong to a different but related genus,
Nothofagus. They are found in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, New
Caledonia and South America.

It turned out that not all was rosy in the garden. Gtk2 failed its regression
tests due to changes made to Perl_sv_utf8_upgrade_flags, which Rafael found
after I'd uploaded RC1 to PAUSE. So there's now RC2:
http://opensource.fotango.com/~nclark/perl-5.8.5-RC2.tar.bz2
(or s/bz2$/gz/ if you really want a 25% larger download.)
coming soon to a CPAN mirror near you soon as
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.5-RC1.tar.bz2
Once it's propagated round the CPAN mirrors I'll make an announcement
on use.perl
The plan still is not to need another release candidate.
No plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
