If it shouldn't be done by then, I will try to help next weekend, as a
BSP was scheduled anyway.

It's a bit complicated right now. We have a major problem around
openexr/kdelibs, which stands in the way of almost any transition,
including the suitesparse/OO.org bits, which have been waiting for quite
a long time. 
After those have been resolved (hopefully in the next few days), we
planned to do switch the python default to python2.5, which I expect to
need another week until it's done. After that, the way is free for
Perl5.10. OTOH, uploading before python2.5 is done will make everything
much more complex, so if you don't want to unleash the wrath of the
release team, you better ask before doing the upload :-)

All in all, I would expect that we will need at least 10 days (though a
bit over two weeks sounds more realistic) before the way is clear for
Perl5.10.
