Wow! I'm only getting 6.4KB/s download from daft.com where I get over 240KB/s from the official Debian sites. If you want any level of testing for this new version of Perl then I'd suggest you move it to unstable ASAP. I doubt the majority of people using unstable will be waiting around for the half hour it takes to download from daft, but what do I know...
