Postings from September 2017
At length did cross an Albatross,
Thorough the fog it came;
As if it had been a Christian soul,
We hailed it in God's name.
It ate the food it ne'er had eat,
And round and round it flew.
The ice did split with a thunder-fit;
The helmsman steered us through!
And a good south wind sprung up behind;
The Albatross did follow,
And every day, for food or play,
Came to the mariner's hollo!
In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,
It perched for vespers nine;
Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,
Glimmered the white Moon-shine.'
'God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends, that plague thee thus!—-
Why look'st thou so?'—-With my cross-bow
I shot the ALBATROSS.
-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
We are delighted to announce the first release candidate of version

https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/perl-5.26.1-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-5.26.1-RC1.
This is your last chance to point out any critical regressions before
v5.26.1 ships "for real," and we'd rather fix things for v5.26.1 than
for v5.26.2!
The final v5.26.1 is expected to ship within the next fortnight.
