When building some packages, I get errors about routines in 5.005_58 being
older than ones in 5.004_05. Two in particular are File​::Copy and Pod​::Text.
I was wondering when the 5.005 tree would get patches merged in...

I don't know about File​::Copy, but with Pod​::Text the problem is likely
that my rewrite to use Pod​::Parser has a lower version number than the old
version. I'll bump the version number to something a major number higher
than the old one in the next release of that module.
