Perl 5.13.6 is released

    The boy called Crow softly rests a hand on my shoulder, and with that
  the storm vanishes.

    "From now on -- no matter what -- you've got to be the world's toughest
  fifteen-year-old. That's the only way you're going to survive. And in order
  to do that, you've got to figure out what it means to be tough. You following
  me?"

    I keep my eyes closed and don't reply. I just want to sink off into sleep
  like this, his hand on my shoulder. I hear the faint flutter of wings.

    "You're going to be the world's toughest fifteen-year-old," Crow whispers
  as I try to fall asleep. Like he was carving the words in a deep blue tattoo
  on my heart.

      -- Haruki Murakami, "Kafka on the Shore" (Translated by Philip Gabriel)
