Today ( 2024-05-24 ) perl 5.40.0 is still scheduled to be released on 2024-05-20 😂
https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/3876454601fbacbb06b16270aadfa52609a8bca5/Porting/release_schedule.pod#L16 As far as I see it was not released yet (at least there is no tag containing substring "5.40" in git repo https://github.com/Perl/perl5 )
