Perl 5.27.0 is now available!

  People who have theories as to how one should live tend to forget the
limitations of nature. If your way of life involves constant restraint
of impulse for the sake of some one supreme aim that you have set
yourself, it is likely that the aim will become increasingly distasteful
because of the efforts that it demands; impulse, denied its normal
outlets, will find others, probably in spite; pleasure, if you allow
yourself any at all, will be dissociated from the main current of your
life, and will become Bacchic and frivolous. Such pleasure brings no
happiness, but only a deeper despair.

    -- Bertrand Russell, The Road to Happiness
