Hm... 

I gather that 5.004_02 was brougt into FreeBSD-current.  Is this
right?  (I admit, I've been paying only casual attention)

In <your-favorite-mirror>/CPAN/src, I find that 5.004_04 is
tagged as the latest stable release.

The 5.005* is still tagged tagged with "development" status.

What are the reasons for 5.004_02 being the release of choice for
FreeBSD-current?
