Please build and prepare packages meant for release to Cygwin with this
Perl version, but preferrably do no yet actually upload.

Have you decided yet how you want to handle the upgrade when the time
comes?  I think last time you asked people to upload a !perl file
instead of !ready, and then you coordinated with Jon to change all the
!perl files to !ready at the appropriate time.

The mechanisms on sourceware have substantially changed since then, so I
don't know what's the appropriate solution this time around.  One
possibility could be to simply stop the calm updates until everybody
gives their go and then resume it so it picks up everything in one go.
But again, Jon or Yaakov probably have a better idea.

Doing the same thing again should be fine.
