It is in steady testing since summer (5.9.5), and
the final release is tested daily with about 400 additional CPAN
modules so far.

I'm quite busy submitting patches to the tracker for the more 
complicated Devel and B packages which are not yet 5.10 ready. 
B::Generate and B::Lint works now, but the B compiler was removed
from CORE.
Andy Koenig tested about 1500 modules last week.
Jerry Hedden does a lot of cygwin testing also.
My XML::LibXML bugfixes are still not accepted upstream, so
it's in vendor. This is quite important for GNOME.

I believe we will be ready to switch in about 2-3 weeks or so.
