 If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.37.9, first read
 L<perl53710delta>, which describes differences between 5.37.9 and 5.37.10.

-XXX Any important notices here

 =head1 Core Enhancements
 
-XXX New core language features go here.  Summarize user-visible core language
-enhancements.  Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go

-    There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.XXX.XXX
-    If any exist, they are bugs, and we request that you submit a

-=head1 Deprecations
-
-XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here.
-
-=head2 Module removals
-
-XXX Remove this section if not applicable.
-
-The following modules will be removed from the core distribution in a
-future release, and will at that time need to be installed from CPAN.
-Distributions on CPAN which require these modules will need to list them as
-prerequisites.
-
-The core versions of these modules will now issue C<"deprecated">-category
-warnings to alert you to this fact.  To silence these deprecation warnings,
-install the modules in question from CPAN.
-
-Note that these are (with rare exceptions) fine modules that you are encouraged
-to continue to use.  Their disinclusion from core primarily hinges on their
-necessity to bootstrapping a fully functional, CPAN-capable Perl installation,
-not usually on concerns over their design.

 =head1 Modules and Pragmata
 
-XXX All changes to installed files in F<cpan/>, F<dist/>, F<ext/> and F<lib/>
-go here.  If Module::CoreList is updated, generate an initial draft of the
-following sections using F<Porting/corelist-perldelta.pl>.  A paragraph summary
-for important changes should then be added by hand.  In an ideal world,
-dual-life modules would have a F<Changes> file that could be cribbed.
-
-The list of new and updated modules is modified automatically as part of
-preparing a Perl release, so the only reason to manually add entries here is if
-you're summarising the important changes in the module update. (Also, if the
-manually-added details don't match the automatically-generated ones, the
-release manager will have to investigate the situation carefully.)
