Perl 5.36.1-RC2 is now available!
In order to attain a natural manner of playing the piano, that is to
say, with the least possible strain and exertion, it is of the utmost
importance to learn to exert the muscles consciously, and, what is of
still greater importance, to relax them consciously. My manner of
accomplishing this differs from that of many other pedagogues. I
contrive to raise a feeling of relaxation from within, as it were. This
is generally attempted by the aid of visible movements. All superfluous
movements are injurious. The aim should be the very least possible
strain of the muscles when playing the piano.

-- Karl Leimer & Walter Gieseking, "The Shortest Way to Pianistic
Perfection"

***Please, please, please*** test your code against perl-5.36.1-RC2.
This is your last chance to point out any critical regressions before
v5.36.1 ships "for real," and we'd rather fix things for v5.36.1 than
for v5.36.2!

The final v5.36.1 is still expected to ship on 23rd April.
