In the deepest rocky crevice
A will-o'-the wisp lured me;
How I could find my way from here,
For me it's easy memory!
For I am used to straying ways,
Every path to th'end a way,
All our joys and all our suffering,--
To a will-o'-the wisp it 's all play!
Through the dried-up bed of torrents
I quite calmly downward stroll;
Every stream its sea will enter,
Every suffering finds its goal!
-- Wilhelm Müller, trans. Anon., "Will-o'-the Wisp"
(No. 9 in Schubert's song-cycle, "Winterreise")
We are delighted to announce the first release candidate of version
22.1, the first maintenance release of version 22 of Perl 5.
You will soon be able to download Perl 5.22.1-RC1 from your favourite
CPAN mirror or find it at:
https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/perl-5.22.1-RC1/
SHA1 digests for this release are:
7b0b9ef85b2b4db17a668865a473565d0d3e2ff4 perl-5.22.1-RC1.tar.gz

7efc472da4bc1429bafc111ca614628bf2296f68 perl-5.22.1-RC1.tar.xz
You can find a full list of changes in the file "perldelta.pod" located
in the "pod" directory inside the release and on the web.
***Please, please, please*** test your code against perl-5.22.1-RC1.
This is your last chance to point out any critical regressions before
v5.22.1 ships "for real," and we'd rather fix things for v5.22.1 than
for v5.22.2!
The final v5.22.1 will ship no sooner than Nov 14th, a fortnight from
today.
