Newer version of Perl?

Newer version of Perl?

[Andrew DeFaria]

Apologies if this has been asked before. What the latest version of Perl 
available for Cygwin. I see 5.14 but I know that 5.16 and 5.18 are out.

Actually, I brought it up here yesterday, as a result of trying to help 
you with mod_perl alternatives:

5.18.2 is in test.  Run setup.exe, find perl on the Select Packages 
screen, then click the "5.14.4" until it says "5.18.2" instead.

Beware, because it's "test", every time you run setup.exe again, you 
have to be careful to re-select it, or it will get downgraded to 5.14 again.

I think the problem is that I'm using Cygwin 64bit but when I click on 
5.14.4 is doesn't change. Perhaps 5.18.2 is only compiled for 32 bit?

Confirmed.

Perl 5.18 breaks binary module packages, which is why it's still in 
test, waiting for those package maintainers to update their packages.  I 
don't know what the status of the binary module updates is, which would 
tell us when we can expect Perl 5.18 to be pushed to curr.

Any news?

I'm already using Perl 5.18 on Cygwin 32 , 
and I would like to do the same on 64 bit as most of packages I need are now
already available on 64 bits.

Thanks in advance,
and also for all your work,

Rgds,

Stephane
