This file serves as a template for the checklist. In particular, the following
placeholders in the instructions below are recognized and expanded by
F<Porting/make-rmg-checklist>:

=over

=item C<5.X.Y>

The perl version whose release is being prepared (e.g. C<5.41.9>).

=item C<5.X>

The perl version whose release is being prepared, but without the final
component (e.g. C<5.41>).

=item C<5.LAST>

The "previous" perl version. Normally, this is just C<5.X.(Y-1)>, but if the
last component is 0, it subtracts 2 from the middle component:

5.X.Y 5.LAST
