The #Perl #programming language core team has just released version 5.40.0! Check out the announcement: https://nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2024/06/msg268252.html
Previously-experimental features now fully supported:
• `try`/`catch` exception handling
• iterating over multiple values with `for` loops
• the `builtin` module and about a dozen functions within
Also, #CPAN modules can now unit test with the included Test2::Suite without extra dependencies.
Full list of changes: https://perldoc.perl.org/perl5400delta
