There are updated test kits based on Perl 5.18.1 at <https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsperlkit/files/>. There have been no significant problems reported on the previous kits; the delay in releasing final kits is because I've been waiting for a third party who promised to do some testing but hasn't for three months. I'm now planning to release final kits on 1 September (this year!) unless there are significant problems reported in the current kits. Promises to do testing after 1 September are still welcome, but the results won't be taken into account until a subsequent release.
