  Subjective confidence in a judgment is not a reasoned evaluation of
the probability that this judgment is correct. Confidence is a feeling,
which reflects the coherence of the information and the cognitive ease
of processing it. It is wise to take admissions of uncertainty
seriously, but declarations of high confidence mainly tell you that an
individual has constructed a coherent story in his mind, not necessarily
that the story is true.

    -- Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

We are pleased as plum pear punch to announce version 25.11,
the 11th development release of version 25 of Perl 5.

You will soon be able to download Perl 5.25.11 from your
favorite CPAN mirror or find it at:

https://metacpan.org/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.25.11/

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 at

https://metacpan.org/pod/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.25.11/pod/perldelta.pod

Perl 5.25.11 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl
5.25.10
and contains approximately 4,900 lines of changes across 240 files from 21
authors.

Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
approximately 2,200 lines of changes to 170 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.

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 5.25.11:

Aaron Crane, Andy Lester, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, Dave
Cross,
David Golden, David Mitchell, Dominic Hargreaves, H.Merijn Brand, Hugo
van der
Sanden, James E Keenan, Jarkko Hietaniemi, Jerry D. Hedden, Karl Williamson,
Leon Timmermans, Matthew Horsfall, Renee Baecker, Sawyer X, Shlomi Fish,
Steve
Hay, 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.

For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors,
please see
the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.

The next major stable release of Perl 5, version 26.0, should appear in May
2017.

In hugs and bugs,
Sawyer X.
