Wow! I'm only getting 6.4KB/s download from daft.com where I get over
240KB/s from the official Debian sites. If you want any level of
testing for this new version of Perl then I'd suggest you move it to
unstable ASAP. I doubt the majority of people using unstable will be
waiting around for the half hour it takes to download from daft, but
what do I know...
