=item STOP is a new keyword
In addition to C<BEGIN>, C<INIT>, C<END>, C<DESTROY> and C<AUTOLOAD>,
-subroutines named C<STOP> are now special. They are queued up for
-execution at the end of compilation, and cannot be called directly.
+subroutines named C<STOP> are now special. These are queued up during
+compilation and behave similar to END blocks, except they are called at
+the end of compilation rather than at the end of execution. They cannot
+be called directly.
=item Treatment of list slices of undef has changed
enables perl code to determine whether actions that make sense
only during normal running are warranted. See L<perlvar>.
-=head2 STOP blocks
-
-Arbitrary code can be queued for execution when Perl has finished
-parsing the program (i.e. when the compile phase ends) using STOP
-blocks. These behave similar to END blocks, except for being
-called at the end of compilation rather than at the end of execution.

=head2 Optional Y2K warnings
If Perl is built with the cpp macro C<PERL_Y2KWARN> defined,
=item DB_File
-[TODO - Paul Marquess <paul.marquess@bt.com>]
+DB_File can now be built with Berkeley DB versions 1, 2 or 3.
+See C<ext/DB_File/Changes>.
