I have uploaded Perl 5.40.0 to Debian unstable, starting a 600+ package transition. Wide uninstallability is to be expected in sid for the next few days until the necessary rebuilds have been completed. Please avoid unnecessary uploads of affected packages [1] until the transition is over and perl has migrated to testing. There is no need to submit bug reports about the uninstallability of related packages during this transition.

See the "perldelta" document [2] for information on upstream changes since 5.38.
