Jesse,

Congrats, but also have a look at

http://www.cpan.org/src/
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/src/

5.12.x are all gone!  Does it have anything to do with the release of 5.12.2?
I got a copy via

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.12.2.tar.gz

so I'm fine but I'm still surprised.
