I've just uploaded 5.10.1-RC2 to CPAN.
Once it's hit the mirrors it should be available as
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DA/DAPM/perl-5.10.1-RC2.tar.bz2
but until then, its available as
http://www.iabyn.com/tmp/perl-5.10.1-RC2.tar.bz2
but please don't advertise that outside of this list.
The .gz variant is also available.
Rafael, once its hit the mirrors, can you announce it on use.perl.org?
So please everyone, test away!
I'm not planning to change anything between now and final release unless
it's a real showstopper: I'm past caring about the occasional test
failure on some random platform.
Significant fixes since RC1:
NDBM_File sometimes wasn't built
Many library files were installed into the wrong directories
Deparsing was slow (fixed by removing const deparsing)
Safe could emit a spurious "used once" warning; fixed with a non-CPAN
version bump to 2.17_01
"cpan -r" didn't work. Fixed with a local (non-CPAN) fix.
allow Perl_die_nocontext() to be called with a NULL format
some Win build fixes that I didn't understand...
perlbug reported spurious patch lists
Configure added duplicate config args in config.sh
readline(BAREHANDLE) was broken
Module::Build version bumped to 0.340201 (having a devel version
number broke things)
perlfaq*.pod updated
