perl v5.25.0 is now available

  Even the bravest that are slain
    Shall not dissemble their surprise
  On waking to find valor reign,
    Even as on earth, in paradise;
  And where they sought without the sword
    Wide fields of asphodel fore’er,
  To find that the utmost reward
    Of daring should be still to dare.

  -- Robert Frost, The Trial by Existence
