To celebrate the 20-year history of Perl, this week the Perl dynamic language has a newest version that is Perl 5.10.0. This is the first major upgrade in more than five years that was released by perl5.porters. This version is not considered as a bug fix version but a new version with lot of features. No doubt, the Perl developers have planned for their next version, i.e. 5.12. But I hope they won’t take another few more years to develop it.
