At this point I'm no longer working for a company that makes me sign
my life away, but by now I'm in the habit. Besides, I still harbor
the deep-down suspicion that nobody would pay money for what I write,
since most of it just helps you do something better that you could
already do some other way. How much money would you personally pay
to upgrade from readnews to rn? How much money would you pay for
the patch program? As for warp, it's a mere game. And anything you
can do with perl you can eventually do with an amazing and totally
unreadable conglomeration of awk, sed, sh and C.

This release contains bug fixes, build fixes and documentation updates. It
should be fully backward compatible with Perl 5.14.0.

Perl 5.14.1 represents approximately four weeks of development since
Perl 5.14.0 and contains approximately 3500 lines of changes
across 38 files from 17 authors.
Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant
community of users and developers. The following people are known to
have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.14.1:
Bo Lindbergh, Claudio Ramirez, Craig A. Berry, David Leadbeater, Father
Chrysostomos, Jesse Vincent, Jim Cromie, Justin Case, Karl Williamson,
Leo Lapworth, Nicholas Clark, Nobuhiro Iwamatsu, smash, Tom Christiansen,
Ton Hospel, Vladimir Timofeev, and Zsbán Ambrus.
We expect to release Perl 5.14.2 in mid-September 2010, followed by Perl
5.14.3 in mid-December. The next major release of Perl 5, 5.16.0 should
appear in spring 2012.
