   Thinking up slogans for the upcoming release of !perl 5.005_5 (no, that is NOT a typo).

     @brettwarden: it was good enough for Moses, and it's good enough for me.

     @brettwarden, lexical filehandles are dirty and wrong.

     @chromatic Oh god, why change the version formatting now?

     @schwern, because we're partying like it's still 1999.

     @chromatic Can't we just leave it 5.005_05 to follow 5.005_04? Or was the _5 part not not a typo?

     @chromatic At least *somebody* is making sure we don't inadvertently break MSA

     @chromatic "The upgrade for people who don't upgrade!"

     @chromatic: someone mentioned the impending 5.005_5 release at the #SPUG meeting last week and got a *lot* of odd looks :)

     @schwern, I prefer the phrasing "software for people who don't upgrade to not upgrade to".
