	- Bug fix release for Perl 5.8.1 (see Perl bug #23143).

	  (dance a little jig): recur.t, test 4 failed on Perl 5.8.1-RC2
	  with the error: panic: pad_free curpad. Thanks merlyn for reporting.
	  Since this bug won't be fixed for 5.8.1, we workaround

	- documentation: added 'twang bra-strap' to acme shape description
	- tests: merged old 13_to.t, old 12_Beer.t to new 19_surrounds.t
	         new Test::Pod test, 18_sky.t

1.44	Sun Apr 25 19:07:41 2004

	- Bug fix release for Perl 5.8.4: some of the tests broke because
	  they were naughtily exploiting a Perl bug re use strict inside
