Perl 5.10.1 released
Perl 5.10.1 have been released. You can download it from the CPAN, or if you can’t wait, here.
Next, you need to build it:
mkdir ~/perl/5.10.1 cd ~/code/build/perl-5.10.1 perl Configure -de -Dprefix=${HOME}/perl/5.10.1/ make make test make install
Add the path to your environment
export PATH=${HOME}/perl/5.10.1/bin:$PATH
and install your CPAN’s modules:
PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 cpan Bundle::CPANxxl Task::Kensho
Now you can start to play with it :)

If you want to use threads, you have to decide that when you compile Perl as well (just add -Dusethreads to the Configure line).
