release of Perl is based. (Patches can be found on any CPAN
site, in the .../src/5.0 directory for full version releases,
or in the .../src/5/0/unsupported directory for sub-version
releases.)

Version 5.004_05 Maintenance release 5 for 5.004
----------------
"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be light, and the stillness the dancing."
-- T.S.Eliot, East Coker
