+== Perl 5.38
+
+The `perl` package has been upgraded to version 5.38, which provides multiple bug fixes and enhancements. Notable changes include:
+
+* New `class` feature - new experimental syntax is now available for defining object classes, where per-instance data is stored in "field" variables that behave like lexicals.
+
+* Support for Unicode 15.0 encoding standard.
+
+* Locale category `LC_NAME` is now supported on the participating platforms.
+
+* Deprecation warnings now have specific subcategories - it is still possible to disable all deprecation warnings in a single statement. However, now it is possible to have a more fine-grain control.
+
+* Syntax errors no longer produce `phantom error messages`.
+
+* The `readline()` function no longer clears the stream error and eof flags.
+
+
+For more details, see the link:https://metacpan.org/release/RJBS/perl-5.38.0/view/pod/perldelta.pod[upstream release notes].
