There are updated test kits based on Perl 5.18.1 at = <https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsperlkit/files/>. There have been = no significant problems reported on the previous kits; the delay in = releasing final kits is because I've been waiting for a third party who = promised to do some testing but hasn't for three months. I'm now = planning to release final kits on 1 September (this year!) unless there = are significant problems reported in the current kits. Promises to do = testing after 1 September are still welcome, but the results won't be = taken into account until a subsequent release. On May 31, 2013, at 12:07 PM, Craig A.
