+=head1 NAME
+
+[ Any text flagged as XXX needs to be processed before release. ]
+
+perldelta - what is new for perl v5.11.2
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes differences between the 5.11.1 release and
+the 5.11.2 release.
+
+=head1 Notice
+
+XXX Unlikely to need this section.
+
+=head1 Incompatible Changes
+
+XXX For a release on a stable branch, this section aspires to be:
+
+ There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.XXX.XXX. If any
+ exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.
+
+
+=head1 Core Enhancements
+
+XXX New core language features go here. Summarise user-visible core language
+enhancements. Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go
+here, but most should go in the L</Performance Enhancements> section.
+
+=head1 New Platforms
+
+XXX List any platforms that this version of perl compiles on, that previous
+versions did not. These will either be enabled by new files in the F<hints/>
+directories, or new subdirectories and F<README> files at the top level of the
+source tree.
+
+=head1 Modules and Pragmata
+
+XXX All changes to installed files in F<cpan/>, F<dist/>, F<ext/> and F<lib/>
+go here, in a list ordered by distribution name. Minimally it should be the
+module version, but it's more useful to the end user to give a paragraph's
+summary of the module's changes. In an ideal world, dual-life modules would
+have a F<Changes> file that could be cribbed.

+
+This is a list of some significant unfixed bugs, which are regressions

+=head1 Platform Specific Notes
+
+XXX Any changes specific to a particular platform. VMS and Win32 are the usual

+
+
+=head1 Reporting Bugs
+
+If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles
+recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl
+bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be
+information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
+
+If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the B<perlbug>
+program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down
+to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the
+output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be
+analysed by the Perl porting team.
+
+If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
+inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send
+it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
+unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able
+to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
+co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
+platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
+security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently
+distributed on CPAN.
