Perl 5.15.4 is now available

 
    A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse 
    experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and 
    they end up with very linear solutions without a broad 
    perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of 
    the human experience, the better design we will have.

and contains approximately 31,000 lines of changes across 350 files from 23
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 5.15.4:

Alan Haggai Alavi, Brian Fraser, Chip Salzenberg, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dave
Rolsky, David Golden, David Mitchell, Dennis Kaarsemaker, Eric Brine, Father
Chrysostomos, Florian Ragwitz, George Greer, Gerard Goossen, H.Merijn Brand,
Jim Cromie, John P. Linderman, Karl Williamson, Nicholas Clark, Reini Urban,
Steffen Müller, Stevan Little, Thorsten Glaser, Tony Cook.

The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated
From version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of
the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug
tracker.

Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
helping Perl to flourish.

We expect to release Perl 5.15.5 on September 20th.  The next major stable
release of Perl 5, 5.16.0 should appear in Spring 2012.

Thank you, and good night!
