=head1 DESCRIPTION
=head2 Changes and Incompatibilities
-Please see pod/perl5116delta.pod for a description of the changes and
+Please see pod/perl5120delta.pod for a description of the changes and
potential incompatibilities introduced with this release. A few of
the most important issues are listed below, but you should refer
-to pod/perl5116delta.pod for more detailed information.
+to pod/perl5120delta.pod for more detailed information.
B<WARNING:> This version is not binary compatible with prior releases of Perl.
If you have built extensions (i.e. modules that include C code)
On a related issue, old modules may possibly be affected by the changes
in the Perl language in the current release. Please see
-pod/perl5116delta.pod for a description of what's changed. See your
+pod/perl5120delta.pod for a description of what's changed. See your
installed copy of the perllocal.pod file for a (possibly incomplete)
list of locally installed modules. Also see CPAN::autobundle for one
way to make a "bundle" of your currently installed modules.
=head1 Coexistence with earlier versions of perl 5
-Perl 5.11 is not binary compatible with earlier versions of Perl.
+Perl 5.12 is not binary compatible with earlier versions of Perl.
In other words, you will have to recompile your XS modules.
In general, you can usually safely upgrade from one version of Perl (e.g.

-=head1 NAME
-
-[ this is a template for a new perldelta file. Any text flagged as
-XXX needs to be processed before release. ]
-
-perldelta - what is new for perl v5.11.6
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This document describes differences between the 5.11.5 release and
-the 5.11.6 release.
-
-If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.11.4, first read
-L<perl5115delta>, which describes differences between 5.11.4 and
-5.11.5.
-
-=head1 Notice
-
-XXX Any important notices here
-
-=head1 Incompatible Changes
-
-XXX For a release on a stable branch, this section aspires to be:
-
- There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.XXX.XXX. If any
- exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.
-
-
-=head1 Core Enhancements
-
-XXX New core language features go here. Summarise user-visible core language
-enhancements. Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go
-here, but most should go in the L</Performance Enhancements> section.
-
-=head1 New Platforms
-
-XXX List any platforms that this version of perl compiles on, that previous
-versions did not. These will either be enabled by new files in the F<hints/>
-directories, or new subdirectories and F<README> files at the top level of the
-source tree.
-
-=head1 Modules and Pragmata
-
-XXX All changes to installed files in F<cpan/>, F<dist/>, F<ext/> and F<lib/>
-go here. If Module::CoreList is updated, generate an initial draft of the
-following sections using F<Porting/corelist-perldelta.pl>, which prints stub
-entries to STDOUT. Results can be pasted in place of the '=head2' entries
-below. A paragraph summary for important changes should then be added by hand.
-In an ideal world, dual-life modules would have a F<Changes> file that could be
-cribbed.

-
-=head1 Reporting Bugs
-
-If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles
-recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl
-bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be
-information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
-
-If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the B<perlbug>
-program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down
-to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the
-output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be
-analysed by the Perl porting team.
-
-If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
-inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send
-it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
-unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able
-to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
-co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
-platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
-security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently
-distributed on CPAN.
