We look at the first stable release of version 34 of Perl 5. It's the culmination of around 11 months of development and represents 280,000 lines of changes across 2,100 files from 78 authors.
Sadly this is going to be the final release under Sawyer X's supervision as he is stepping down from the position of the Pumpking due to being bullied for suggesting that the language has got cruft that must be cleaned.
That aside, what news does this release bring?
