Leon Brocard (aka acme) is an orange-loving Perl eurohacker with many varied contributions to the Perl community, including the GraphViz module on the CPAN. YAPC::Europe was all his fault. He is still looking for a Perl Monger group he can start which begins with the letter 'D'.

perl5.005_05-MAINT20070602
People forget that I'm perl 5.005 pumpkin. The other pumpkins are being a bit slack about actually releasing, so I've decided to put out a maintenance release of Perl 5.005:
Perl 5.005 is a great version of Perl and still used by many people. There have been a few distribution updates and tool changes which mean that it no longer compiles cleanly everywhere, so I believe it's time for a maintenance release of perl5.005, which will lead to perl5.005_05.
Read the rest on perl5-porters.

Not Sure (Score:1)
People who haven't upgraded from a Perl version released 9 years ago are going to upgrade?
Or is this for people who want to build this ancient Perl to test code on it for their dinosaur clients? (I tried to build 5.6.1 the other day; it had a small problem.)

There are a couple of patches that need to be applied to 5.005 that are out in Perlbug. Please see RT #27188 [perl.org] for more details. I'd be happy to apply them if you wish.
