Summary of changes from 5.X to 5.LATESTby qhen (Acolyte) |

qhen has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Greets Is there a single document somewhere which summarizes the improvements/enhancements/changes in Perl from 5.10 to 5.LATEST? I've been googling around but can't find a nice clean and concise presentation. I'm particularly interested in language changes/improvements and performance enhancements. perlnews.org and perldoc.perl.org/perldelta.html has the info, but it's spread across a myriad of pages. I'm considering using perlbrew or the like to install the latest 'n greatest (ie, without touching the distro's installed Perl) and enjoy some of the creamy goodness which is available (yes, I'm tired of missing out), whilst also speeding up data crunching a bit - always a good thing. We're about to refactor a large code base after it's first iteration, and this is a good opportunity to consider doing a major upgrade of Perl and leveraging some of those much yodeled about improvements.
