Since early 2008 the y2038 code project by Michael G Schwern has been working on 2038 bug fixes for interpretor languages like Perl, Ruby and Python, basing some of their code on the examples here on 2038bug.com.
Perl 5.12.0 has now been released and includes these fixes.
This is a significant milestone being the first major software package to explicitly fix 2038 bug issues. Indeed this release represents the kick-off toward industry acceptance of the seriousness of this problem and the start toward cleaning up all 2038 bugs in all code on earth.
