There are 18 patches for 2.0 perl.

How long something lasts at patchlevel 0 depends on how you count,
but generally it's a negative value--there's already 4 or 5 patches
by the time it comes out on comp.sources.

Since you are on the internet, you can just ftp the patches (or the
kits at patchlevel 18) from my machine (128.149.8.43).

In a few weeks you'll be able to ftp the kits for 3.0 beta perl.

(By the way, I'm posting this from the terminal room at USENIX.  Fun!)
