in reply to Machine-readable Current Version

I can obviously manually check perl.org

If you can do it manually, you can tell perl to do it. TIMTOWTDI als always:

  • Perl Download:
    perl -MLWP::Simple -le 'get("https://www.perl.org/get.html") =~ /lates +t stable version, currently ([\d\.]+)\./ and print $1' 5.24.1
  • Perl Source:
    perl -MLWP::Simple -le 'get("http://www.cpan.org/src") =~ /([\d\.]+)\s ++<td>Maint/ and print $1' 5.24.1

at the time of writing this node.

Index of /src/5.0 on The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network is outdated at the moment, since it tells latest_maint_is_5.14.1. The links haven't been adjusted for a long time...

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

    Any idea whom to report the problem to?

    ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

      Done. For future reference, https://noc.perl.org/ list where you should report issues for various parts of the perl infrastructure.

      It has already been reported. Thank you.

      perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
