Last week saw the release of Perl 5.34.0 (you can get it here), and with it comes a year's worth of new features, performance enhancements, bug fixes, and other improvements. It seems like a good time to highlight some of my favorite changes over the past decade and a half, especially for those with more dated knowledge of Perl. You can always click on the headers below for the full releases' perldelta pages.
Perl 5.10 (2007)
This was a big release, coming as it did over five years after the previous major 5.8 release. Not that Perl developers were idle—but it wouldn't be until version 5.14 that the language would adopt a steady yearly release cadence.
