So I read the 5.12.2 delta documentation and it mentioned some updated core 
modules plus some bug fixes and documentation updates.

But then I asked search.cpan.org to show me a diff from 5.12.1, thinking it 
would be relatively small and so wouldn't say "too large".

   http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=perl-5.12.1&to=perl-5.12.2-RC1

But the results there seem wrong, and say these were the only changed files:

AUTHORS
Configure
cpan/CPANPLUS/bin/cpanp-run-perl
cpan/Cwd/lib/File/Spec.pm
cpan/Cwd/lib/File/Spec/VMS.pm
cpan/Cwd/t/Spec.t
cpan/Module-Load-Conditional/lib/Module/Load/Conditional.pm

Also, looking at the raw diff says "file doesn't exist".

Maybe this is a search.cpan.org problem, but in case it isn't, this implies 
something was botched when making the 5.12.2 tarball.

I haven't yet tried downloading 5.12.2 and running a diff on it on my own machine.
