Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Perl/perl5 maintenance focused on test infrastructure reliability. Performed a version bump of the Test-Simple library to 1.302214 across modules, added minor documentation fixes, and resolved a bug in the test runner by correcting the error message for repeated calls to done_testing. No user-facing features released. These actions improve CPAN packaging consistency, test suite stability, and downstream compatibility.
