Everybody who wants to have the bleeding edge Perl on their systems is welcome to install it himself. 5.6.0 builds out of the box and passes its regression test suit just fine on 2.2.X, 3.X, 4.X, and 5.0. > Help test it.

One year ought to be long enough :) Historical evidence suggests there will be 5.6.1 *very* soon, and 5.6.2 shortly after that. Let's wait a couple of months before jumping on this vagon... :-) 5.6.0 will almost surely prove to have far too many problems to include it into FreeBSD source tree.
