<br>
<br>
It is an error to divide people into the living and the dead:<br>
there are people who are dead-alive, and people who are<br>
alive-alive. The dead-alive also write, walk, speak, act. But they<br>
make no mistakes; only machines make no mistakes, and they produce<br>
only dead things. The alive-alive are constantly in error, in<br>
search, in questions, in torment.<br>

The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically<br>
generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include<br>
the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to<br>
the Perl bug tracker.<br>
<br>
Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules<br>
included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for<br>
helping Perl to flourish.<br>
<br>
For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see<br>
the AUTHORS file in the Perl source distribution.<br>
<br>
We expect to release v5.19.0 on Monday, May 20th, 2013. The next major<br>
stable release of Perl 5, version 20, should appear in May 2014.<br>
