+Version 5.003_19
+----------------
+
+Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
+leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart.  The
+method cache is now invisible to user code.  And there is a new test
+directory, "t/pragma".
+
+IMHO, this is Beta quality code.
+
+Here's a list of the more significant changes...
