ActiveState announces new ActivePerl builds of 5.12.3 (and 5.8.9)

ActiveState is pleased to announce ActivePerl 5.8.9 build 829,
and ActivePerl 5.12.3 build 1204, complete, ready-to-install
binary distributions of Perl.

Builds for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux are made freely available.
Builds for Solaris, HP-UX and AIX are available with ActivePerl Business
Edition. For detailed information or to download these releases, see:

What's new in ActivePerl
========================

* ActivePerl 5.12 is now based on the recent 5.12.3 release.

* The -d switch on the #! line will now properly invoke the debugger
in Perl 5.12 (it already worked in 5.8.9 and 5.10.1).

* For Perl 5.8 on Mac OS X the Tk module has been compiled to avoid absolute
references to the installed Perl version. This makes it possible to run
packaged Tk applications (using PerlApp) to run on OS X systems that
don't have ActivePerl installed.

* All bundled modules have been updated to their latest stable releases.
