Okay, call me confused. :-P I checked a couple including ftp.perl.org and language.perl.com, ftp.funet.fi (reportedly the master server) as well as my local mirror and I find: Aug 11 08:20 stable.tar.gz -> ../authors/id/TIMB/perl5.004_04.tar.gz Aug 11 08:20 stable.zip -> 5.0/maint/p500404.zip Aug 11 07:05 stable_is_5.004_04 and: Aug 11 08:20 devel.tar.gz -> ../authors/id/GSAR/perl5.005_51.tar.gz Aug 11 07:09 devel.zip Aug 11 07:05 devel_is_5.005_51 Is that wrong? All the README's and web pages I find seem to indicate 5.00>4<_04 as the latest stable release. Either I missed something, or some CPAN maintainer is AWOL...It seems my sources of perl news an information are not reputable...any pointers to reputable web sites would be appreciated. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
