I found a small typo in perl589delta:
A new entry has been added to the MAGIC vtable - svt_local. This is used
when copying magic to the new value during local. This allows problems
with localising shared variables.
I'm not sure what that last sentence should be, but I'm pretty sure it's
wrong ;)
Also, I think the paragraph about this being the last 5.8.x release should
be _way_ higher up in the document. I'd say stick it right under
DESCRIPTION. Right now it's buried under Known Bugs where a lot of folks
might miss it.
Thanks for your (and everyone else's) work on this (and other) release(s).
