"Laboratories," announced Henry. "Kindly don't touch anything." He led us into a long low brick shed. Outside there was a notice on a piece of board, crudely printed in red paint, which said GRATE SIENCE DISCOVERYS DONE HERE SSSH! BRING YOUR OWN BUKKIT NO PINCHING ANYWUN ELSE'S EXPERRYMENTS CANTEEN OPEN ALL DAY CHIMPS ONLY. There were a lot of large black monkeys inside, all intently busy on what they were doing. Some of them were pouring stuff out of bottles into buckets and carefully stirring the ensuing mixture; others were at work with glass tubes and jars, blowing and measuring and mixing; others were crouched over long benches with tools and heaps of bits and pieces of metal, cutting and bending and constructing. There was a great deal of noise and chatter. Every now and then one of them would give a whoop of excitement and all the others would gather round and jump up and down cheering and applauding. "Chimps," said Henry. "They're awfully clever." -- Penelope Lively, /The Voyage of QV66/ We are titillated to announce Perl 5.15.7 the eighth development release of Perl 5.15. You will soon be able to download Perl 5.15.7 from your favourite CPAN mirror or find it at: https://metacpan.org/release/BINGOS/perl-5.15.7/ SHA1 digests for this release are: 053d1bec2e360088ce14a84bc7b1e4845feec954 perl-5.15.7.tar.gz 20df66bb377bbc640cc47abf65adcf8cec9024f1 perl-5.15.7.tar.bz2 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. Perl 5.15.7 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl 5.15.6 and contains approximately 51,000 lines of changes across 480 files from 30 authors. 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 5.15.7: Alberto Simões, Bo Lindbergh, Brian Fraser, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, Dave Rolsky, David Mitchell, Eric Brine, Father Chrysostomos, Florian Ragwitz, H.Merijn Brand, Hojung Youn, James E Keenan, Joel Berger, Joshua ben Jore, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Matthew Horsfall, Michael Witten, Nicholas Clark, Reini Urban, Ricardo Signes, Shlomi Fish, Steffen Müller, Steffen Schwigon, Todd Rinaldo, Tom Christiansen, Tom Hukins, Tony Cook, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason. 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. We expect to release Perl 5.15.8 on 20th February 2012. The next major stable release of Perl 5, version 5.16.0, should appear in May 2012. Archebwch a thalwch wrth y cownter, diolch yn fawr, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams
