+		<title>Perl 5.2.0</title>
+		<para>
+			Perl has been updated to version 5.20 in Fedora&nbsp;22. This new release brings
several new features, changes to existing behavior, and removes a few features; notable
changes are described below.
+		</para>
+		<bridgehead>New features:</bridgehead>
+		<itemizedlist>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					Subroutine <literal>prototype</literal> attribute allows to declare
subroutine prototype in postfix manner.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					The new <literal>%hash{...}</literal> and
<literal>%array{...}</literal> syntax returns a list of key/value and
index/value pairs, respectively.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					Added support for Unicode 6.3 tables.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					More internal counters support 64-bit values (arrays with more than 2^32 elements,
regular expression matching strings with more than 2^32 characters).
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					Copy-on-write mechanism is used when assigning scalars.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					Speed improvements (lazy evaluation of logical conjunction and disjunction in void
context, constant hash look-ups, return at the end of a subroutine).
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					New modules have been added into the core
(<literal>experimental</literal>,
<literal>IO::Socket::IP</literal>).
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+		</itemizedlist>
+		<bridgehead>Changes in existing behavior:</bridgehead>
+		<itemizedlist>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					<literal>use locale</literal> in an UTF-8 locale environment enables
Unicode character type processing.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					Perl initializes locale according to all locale environment variables (such as
<literal>LANG</literal>).
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					The <option>-F</option> Perl option implies the
<option>-a</option> option, and the <option>-a</option> option
implies the <option>-n</option> option.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					Character after a <literal>\c</literal> sequence in a double-quoted
string or regular expression must be a printable character and may
<emphasis>not</emphasis> be a <literal>{</literal>.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					In <literal>use locale</literal> scope, regular expression matching
which depends on locale properties (like character case) taints values.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					The regular expression pattern element <literal>\p{All}</literal>
previously matched only Unicode code points. Now it matches all code points, making it
equivalent to <literal>qr/./s</literal>. Therefore,
<literal>\p{All}</literal> is no longer synonymous with
<literal>\p{Any}</literal>, which continues to match only Unicode code
points.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					The output format for <literal>Data::Dumper</literal> has changed.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					Locale decimal point in Perl code is subject to locale only in scope of
<literal>use locale</literal>.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+		</itemizedlist>
+		<bridgehead>Removed features:</bridgehead>
+		<itemizedlist>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					<literal>do subroutine(LIST)</literal> is no longer supported and
results in a syntax error.
+				</para>
+			</listitem>
+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					The <literal>PerlIO_vsprintf()</literal> and
<literal>PerlIO_sprintf()</literal> functions have been removed.
+				</para>
