Perl 5.004 is rounding the corner. 5.003_08 just came out and 5.003_09 will
be 5.004-candidate.
Many thinks are broken (even if people don't tumble often on them) and

I'm keeping eyes on main Perl dev. thru perl5-porters as probably others

BTW OpenBSD has already done the integration into a bmake-based tree so we
