No need to finish perl5.2
No need to finish perl5.2 [sic] because the Walnut Hill CD
entitled "SysVR4" already comes with perl5.2 on it! I think
someone should pick up a copy and save us all a lot of work.

I noticed this at what used to be Taylor's Technical Books
in Dallas last night. There was also a book with the only
copyright of 1996 so if anyone wants a copy, ask quick. I
guess its the little white lies that keep you ahead of the
game in the publishing business. I say we start the Perl
newsletter at Volume 27 so people won't think it lacks
maturity.

But seriously, should I announce this before we get flooded
with "When did 5.002 come out and how can I get it without
paying Walnut Hill $60?" questions?

I tried to do something like that some time ago when I saw a Solaris
system administration book with a CD with perl5-alpha-115 :-)
