Version 5.14.0 of Perl
Release Notes: Unicode version 6.0 is now supported. Regular expressions can now be reset to the default modifiers. Four new regular expression modifiers, "/d", "/l" , "/u", and "/a", were introduced. The substitution operators now support the modifier "/r" to work non-destructively, leaving the original unmodified. Larger octals can now be specified. Array and hash operators can now experimentally operate directly on hard references. printf-like functions now understand post-1980 size modifiers. Exception handling was made more reliable and consistent. Other enhancements and many bug fixes were made.

Release Notes: Several minor bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: Enhancements were made to code features such as "use", which now explicitly enables feature bundles, a more consistent "eval" operator, and a revamped "substr" function.

Many other minor improvements and bugfixes, along with several deprecations, were made.
