About:
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that makes easy things easy and hard things possible. It is optimized for scanning arbitrary text files and system administration. It has built-in extended regular expression matching and replacement, a dataflow mechanism to improve security with setuid scripts and is extensible via modules that can interface to C libraries.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
This version includes a new smart match operator,
a switch statement, the // defined-or operator,
regular expression improvements, and other
language changes (some inspired by Perl 6). The
Perl interpreter itself is faster, with a smaller
memory footprint and several UTF-8 and threading
improvements.

Would be great, if new versions would be announced at freshmeat.
The latest version is 5.8.2, not 5.8.0.

Luckily they seem to be keeping this page up to date nowadays. The latest
version is 5.8.8 and the site was promptly updated.
