Summary:                    Update to Perl 5.12.1
Description: 
Ref: http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.12.1/

Please update to Perl 5.12.1 on Solaris.
* Perl now conforms much more closely to the Unicode standard.
  Additionally, this release includes an upgrade to version
  5.2 of the standard.

* New experimental APIs allow developers to extend Perl with 
  "pluggable" keywords and syntax.

* Perl now has a better sense of time and will be able to keep
  accurate time well past the "Y2038" barrier.

* New syntax allows developers to specify package version numbers
  directly in "package" statements

* Perl now warns the user about the use of deprecated features
  by default.
