What's new in the 2000 Series
This build corresponds to the Perl 5.20.1 source code release.
ActivePerl 5.20 for Linux is only released as a 64-bit build for x64 architecture. It requires glibc-2.15 or later, e.g. Ubuntu 12.04.
The 2000 series builds of ActivePerl are not binary compatible with builds in the 1800 or earlier series. Any extensions built using binaries from the ActivePerl 1800 or earlier series will need to be recompiled. Note especially that this applies to PPM packages that may have been built for earlier series of ActivePerl.
Significant changes that have occurred since the 5.18 release are documented in perl5200delta. Other minor changes and bugfixes is documented in perl5201delta.
Most bundled distributions have been updated to their latest released version from CPAN. Use the ppm list
command to check the exact version included in this release.
