(Moving to 5.12.2 seems fine to me.) I don't understand well enough to object, so these are just questions and *not* an objection. It seems odd that we have to take patches from CPAN and put them into perl. It seems kind of buggy that programs need higher versions of things that are in perl base than the latest released stable perl. What are other systems (freebsd, openbsd, ubuntu, etc.) doing about this?
