Perl 5.14 is going to be released this month, see http://perlnews.org/2011/05/perl-5-14-0-release-candidate-2-now-available-for-testing/: "If no âshowstopperâ class bugs are found in the next 7 days, Perl5-Porters will release a virtually identical tarball as Perl 5.14.0 on Wednesday, May 11." It would be great to have Perl 5.14 available as RPM in Mageia 2, either as a replacement for the current Perl 5.12.3, or at least as an alternative Perl version which could be installed besides Perl 5.12.3.
perl 5.14 would likely be upgraded, like the others packages, once mageia 1 is out. There is no need to open bug report for that...

Indeed it's too late for Mageia 1 which is in RC stage. Especially for a core package that impacts quite a lot of core components (installer, package manager, config tools, control center, ...)

(In reply to comment #2) > Indeed it's too late for Mageia 1 which is in RC stage. Why are you talking about Mageia 1? In my comment 0, I explicitly mentioned Mageia 2. Why is this bug marked as WONTFIX??
Because: - it's not a bug - perl will be updated as soon as mageia 1 will be released - so as told, there's no point in opening bug reports for such things - shorter bug lists are easier to read If we had have the LATER resolution, I would have closed as RESOLVED/LATER

frederic: be sure that as soon as freeze is over, we'll update perl to 5.14
fwiw - cauldron now provides perl 5.14.1
