[Attn. MAINTAINERS] Heads up: Perl 5.40.0 is imminent

I'm going to release Perl 5.40.0 to Cygwin in a few days. I've skipped
5.38 in order to update only every second year (which I've done since
the 5.22 release). I haven't seen any trouble in my own Perl
distribution packages from the update even though there are lots of them
that haven't been updated since at least 5.22. So I hope it will be
smooth sailing for anything else depending on Perl also.
Any maintainer having packages that depend on perl5_036 or below should
re-release or upgrade these soon-ish after the Perl update is available,
as otherwise users are either blocked from upgrading Perl or will have
to uninstall the affected packages. The rebuilt packages need to have a
dependency on perl5_040, which cygport provides automatically when
building with the new Perl.
Packages that need an update from perl5_036 are:
biber
nginx-mod_http_perl
perl-Barcode-ZBar
perl-Chemistry-OpenBabel
perl-clinkgrammar
perl-Graphics-Magick
perl-gv
perl-Image-Magick
perl-marisa
perl-ming
perl-Net-Libproxy
perl-net-snmp
perl-openwsman
perl-solv
perl-Stow
perl-Wx-build
perl-Xfce4-Xfconf
perl-zinnia
po4a
subversion-perl
Achim.
