+=head1 NAME
+
+perl5358delta - what is new for perl v5.35.8
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes differences between the 5.35.7 release and the 5.35.8
+release.
+
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.35.6, first read
+L<perl5357delta>, which describes differences between 5.35.6 and 5.35.7.
+
+=head1 Core Enhancements
+
+=head2 Try/Catch Syntax Now Recognises C<finally> Blocks
+
+The experimental C<try>/C<catch> syntax has been extended to support an
+optional third block introduced by the C<finally> keyword.
+
+    try {
+        attempt();
+        print "Success\n";
+    }
+    catch ($e) {
+        print "Failure\n";
+    }
+    finally {
+        print "This happens regardless\n";
+    }
+
+This provides code which runs at the end of the C<try>/C<catch> construct,
+even if aborted by an exception or control-flow keyword. They are similar
+to C<defer> blocks.
+
+For more information, see L<perlsyn/"Try Catch Exception Handling">.
+
+=head1 Incompatible Changes
+
+=head2 A physically empty sort is now a compile-time error
+
+    @a = sort @empty; # unaffected
+    @a = sort;        # now a compile-time error
+
+A bare sort used to be a weird way to create an empty list; now it croaks
+at compile time. This is change is intended to free up some of the syntax
+space for possible future enhancements to C<sort>.

+
+Perl 5.35.8 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl
+5.35.7 and contains approximately 29,000 lines of changes across 190 files
+from 19 authors.
+
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 23,000 lines of changes to 120 .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 5.35.8:
+
+Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, David Mitchell, E. Choroba,
+François Perrad, Graham Knop, Ivan Panchenko, James E Keenan, Karl
+Williamson, Michiel Beijen, Mike Fulton, Neil Bowers, Nicholas Clark,
+Nicolas R., Paul Evans, Richard Leach, Sawyer X, TAKAI Kousuke, Tomasz
+Konojacki.
+
+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.

+
+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.

+
+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
