But is it any different than Perl releases of past?
As far as bits-on-the-disk, not really - they are just now in two
packages that Require each other. The next set of changes splits things
out further so that 'devel'-related perl bits don't have to be on a
system unless you want them to be, which will be an actual improvement.
