Travis-CI and latest version of Perl 5
I just tried to add perl 5.22 to the list of perl I run my tests on, but it seem Travis-CI does not support perl 5.22 yet.
This reminded me that it would be nice if I could configure Travis-CI to use a flag such as 'latest_production' that will always use the latest version of perl available in Travis-CI so when the finally add 5.22 the "latest_production" will automatically pick up that version.
It would be also great to have 'blead' that would use blead perl for testing.
Is any of these possible today?

Oh, I've forgotten about that. Thanks!
Adding a 'latest stable' target to travis-perl helpers isn't something that had occurred to me, but if you think it would be worthwhile, I could definitely do so. And I would certainly welcome any other feedback on it too.
I am not sure if that is really useful. I just noticed that I have forgotten to add 5.22 to my projects. So I was wondering if a "latest stable" might solve this for me. But I am not really sure if this is a good idea. I'd still need to remember to add the "one before the latest" when a new major version is released.
Maybe what I wanted is some way to get notified if my Travis-CI configuration is not using the latest stable so I can manually add it.
"latest stable" would be really handy, but my primary usecase would be "test on all major perl versions between X and Y", usually from 5.6 or 5.8 up to latest stable (5.22), as well as blead (but the latest 5.23.x is almost always good enough).
