New punishments behoves me sing in this
Twentieth canto of my first canticle,
Which tells of spirits sunk in the Abyss.
I now stood ready to observe the full
Extent of the new chasm thus laid bare,
Drenched as it was in tears most miserable.
Through the round vale I saw folk drawing near,
Weeping and silent, and at such slow pace
As Litany processions keep, up here.
And presently, when I had dropped my gaze
Lower than the head, I saw them strangely wried
'Twixt collar-bone and chin, so that the face
Of each was turned towards his own backside,
And backwards must they needs creep with their feet,
All power of looking forward being denied.
-- Dante Alighieri, trans. Dorothy L. Sayers, "The Divine Comedy",
Cantica I: Hell, Canto XX
We are delighted to announce the first release candidate of version

You will soon be able to download Perl 5.24.1-RC1 from your favourite

https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/perl-5.24.1-RC1/
SHA1 digests for this release are:

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-5.24.1-RC1.
This is your last chance to point out any critical regressions before
v5.24.1 ships "for real," and we'd rather fix things for v5.24.1 than
for v5.24.2!
The final v5.24.1 is expected to ship within the next fortnight.
