The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be. [...] Not all is delight, however [...] One must perform perfectly. The computer resembles the magic of legend in this respect, too. If one character, one pause, of the incantation is not strictly in proper form, the magic doesn't work. -- Fred Brooks, The Mythical Man-Month We are jubilantly relieved to announce version 5.19.2, the 3rd development release of version 19 of Perl 5. You will soon be able to download Perl 5.19.2 from your favorite CPAN mirror or find it at: https://metacpan.org/release/ARISTOTLE/perl-5.19.2/ SHA1 digests for this release are: adffbeb9cb9a7cd4c17e9baa3d75fff3259bfa20 perl-5.19.2.tar.bz2 564e5f857be20db11c95f3f935aec110cdc5b341 perl-5.19.2.tar.gz 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 5.19.2 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl 5.19.1 and contains approximately 15,000 lines of changes across 400 files from 40 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 5.19.2: Abhijit Menon-Sen, Alexandr Ciornii, Andy Dougherty, Aristotle Pagaltzis, Brian Fraser, Brian Gottreu, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, Daniel Dragan, David Golden, David Mitchell, Ed Avis, Father Chrysostomos, Graham Knop, H.Merijn Brand, Hojung Youn, James E Keenan, Johan Vromans, Karl Williamson, Keedi Kim, Kent Fredric, Lukas Mai, Moritz Lenz, Nathan Trapuzzano, Neil Bowers, Nicholas Clark, Niels Thykier, Niko Tyni, Olivier Mengué, Peter Martini, Petr Písař, Reini Urban, Ricardo Signes, Ruslan Zakirov, Slaven Rezic, Steffen Müller, Tony Cook, Vladimir Timofeev, Yves Orton. 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 "AUTHORS" file in the Perl source distribution. We expect to release version 5.19.3 on August 20, 2013. The next major stable release of Perl 5, version 20.0, should appear in May 2014. -- *AUTOLOAD=*_;sub _{s/..([^:]*)$/()[print$1,(",$\/"," ")[defined wantarray]]/e;$_} &Just->another->Perl->hack; #Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
