+perl 5.16 is ready in svn and compiles fine both in 32 and 64 bits iurts.

+blino will submit it soon using some special tricks - those are needed
+since there is a bootstrap problem between perl and urpmi.
+
+when blino has done it, there will be a need to recompile binary perl
+modules and other deps (usual suspects: vim, apache, etc).
+
+before those are rebuilt and before i send a "clear to proceed" message
+on this mailing list, DO NOT FORCE THE INSTALL if urpmi is complaining:
+this would be the best way to break your cauldron box [0]. don't report
+those errors here either since i'll be working on them.
