=head3 Version Strings
+B<Note:> Version Strings (v-strings) have been deprecated. They will
+not be available after Perl 5.8. The marginal benefits of v-strings
+were greatly outweighed by the potential for Surprise and Confusion.

A literal of the form C<v1.20.300.4000> is parsed as a string composed
of characters with the specified ordinals. This form, known as
v-strings, provides an alternative, more readable way to construct

+=head2 What is Ponie?
+
+At The O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention in 2003, Artur
+Bergman, Fotango, and The Perl Foundation announced a project to
+run perl5 on the Parrot virtual machine named Ponie. Ponie stands for
+Perl On New Internal Engine. The Perl 5.10 language implementation
+will be used for Ponie, and there will be no language level
+differences between perl5 and ponie. Ponie is not a complete rewrite
+of perl5.

End of Patch.
