+=head1 NAME
+
+perl53510delta - what is new for perl v5.35.10
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes differences between the 5.35.9 release and the 5.35.10
+release.
+
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.35.8, first read
+L<perl5359delta>, which describes differences between 5.35.8 and 5.35.9.
+
+=head1 Core Enhancements
+
+=head2 New function C<builtin::trim>
+
+This function treats its argument as a string, returning the result of
+removing all white space at its beginning and ending. See
+L<builtin/trim>
+
+=head2 Variable length lookbehind is mostly no longer considered experimental.
+
+Prior to this release any form of variable length lookbehind was
+considered experimental. With this release the experimental status has
+been reduced to cover only lookbehind that contains capturing parenthesis.
+This is because it is not clear if
+
+ "aaz"=~/(?=z)(?<=(a|aa))/
+
+should match and leave $1 equaling "a" or "aa". Currently it will match
+the longest possible alternative, "aa". We are confident that the overall
+construct will now match only when it should, we are not confident that we
+will keep the current "longest match" behavior.
+
+=head2 Added 'builtin::indexed'
+
+A new function has been added to the C<builtin> package, called C<indexed>.
+It returns a list twice as big as its argument list, where each item is
+preceded by its index within that list. This is primarily useful for using
+the new C<foreach> syntax with multiple iterator variables to iterate over
+an array or list, while also tracking the index of each item:
+
+ use builtin 'indexed';
+
+ foreach my ($index, $val) (indexed @array) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+=head2 Added experimental feature 'extra_paired_delimiters'
+
+Perl traditionally has allowed just four pairs of string/pattern
+delimiters: S<C<( )>> S<C<{ }>> S<C<[ ]>> and S<C<< < > >>>, all in the
+ASCII range. Unicode has hundreds more possibilities, and using this
+feature enables many of them. When enabled, you can say S<C<qr« »>> for
+example, or S<C<use utf8; <q𝄃string𝄂>>. See
+L<feature/The 'extra_paired_delimiters' feature> for
+details.
+

+
+=back
+
+The shared string table was originally added to improve performance for blessed
+hashes used as objects, because every object instance has the same keys, so it
+is an optimisation to share memory between them. It also makes sense for symbol
+tables, where derived classes will have the same keys (typically method names),
+and the OP trees built for method calls can also share memory. The shared
+string table behaves roughly like a cache for hash keys.
+
+But for hashes actually used as associative arrays - mapping keys to values -
+typically the keys are not re-used in other hashes. For example, "seen" hashes
+are keyed by object IDs (or addresses), and logically these keys won't repeat
+in other hashes.
+
+Storing these "used just once" keys in the shared string table increases CPU
+and RAM use for no gain. For such keys the shared string table behaves as a
+cache with a 0% hit rate. Storing all the keys there increases the total size
+of the shared string table, as well as increasing the number of times it is
+resized as it grows. B<Worse> - in any environment that has "copy on write"
+memory for child process (such as a pre-forking server), the memory pages used
+for the shared string table rapidly need to be copied as the child process
+manipulates hashes. Hence if most of the shared string table is such keys that
+are used only in one place, there is no benefit from re-use within the perl
+interpreter, but a high cost due to more pages for the OS to copy.
+
+The perl interpreter now disables shared hash keys for "large" hashes (that are
+neither objects nor symbol tables). "Large" is a heuristic - currently the
+heuristic is that sharing is disabled when adding a key to a hash triggers
+allocation of more storage, and the hash has more than 42 keys.
+
+This B<might> cause slightly increased memory usage for programs that create
+(unblessed) data structures that contain multiple large hashes that share the
+same keys. But generally our testing suggests that for the specific cases
+described it is a win, and other code is unaffected.

+
+=head1 Acknowledgements
+
+Perl 5.35.10 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl
+5.35.9 and contains approximately 15,000 lines of changes across 300 files
+from 26 authors.
+
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 6,900 lines of changes to 190 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+
+Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant
+community of users and developers. The following people are known to have
+contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.35.10:
+
+Bernd, Brad Barden, Chad Granum, cuishuang, Curtis Poe, Dagfinn Ilmari
+Mannsåker, Daniel Laügt, Felipe Gasper, Graham Knop, Hugo van der Sanden,
+James E Keenan, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Matthew Horsfall, Michiel
+Beijen, Nicholas Clark, Nicolas R, Paul Evans, Renee Baecker, Ricardo
+Signes, Richard Leach, Sawyer X, Sisyphus, Steve Hay, TAKAI Kousuke, Yves
+Orton.
+
+The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically
+generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include
+the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to
+the Perl bug tracker.
+
+Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
+included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
+helping Perl to flourish.
+
+For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please
+see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.
+
+=head1 Reporting Bugs
+
+If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database
+at L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>. There may also be information at
+L<http://www.perl.org/>, the Perl Home Page.
+
+If you believe you have an unreported bug, please open an issue at
+L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>. Be sure to trim your bug down to a
+tiny but sufficient test case.
+
+If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it
+inappropriate to send to a public issue tracker, then see
+L<perlsec/SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION>
+for details of how to report the issue.
+
+=head1 Give Thanks
+
+If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5,
+you can do so by running the C<perlthanks> program:
+
+ perlthanks
+
+This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks.

-C<sv_dump> (and L<Devel::Peek>’s C<Dump> function) now escapes high-bit
