perl v5.40.0 released

Version 5.40.0 of the Perl language has been released. "Perl 5.40.0 represents approximately 11 months of development since Perl 5.38.0 and contains approximately 160,000 lines of changes across 1,500 files from 75 authors". Significant changes include a new __CLASS__ keyword, a :reader: attribute for field variables, a new "^^" logical-OR operator (because two of those were not enough), moving "try/catch" out of the experimental category, and more; see this page for lots of details.
