Everybody who wants to have the bleeding edge Perl on their systems is
welcome to install it himself.  5.6.0 builds out of the box and passes
its regression test suit just fine on 2.2.X, 3.X, 4.X, and 5.0.

Historical evidence suggests there will be 5.6.1 *very* soon, and 5.6.2
shortly after that.  Let's wait a couple of months before jumping on
this vagon...  :-)   5.6.0 will almost surely prove to have far too many
problems to include it into FreeBSD source tree.
