Perl 5.28.0 released

I don't think dtlin claimed that at all, their comment was that Arabic digits have a LTR class. However, there's a subtle point here: what we call "Arabic numerals" (0123456789) were indeed copied from Arabic, but I was talking about the numerals that are currently used in most Arab-speaking countries (٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩, which I referred to as East Arabic numerals to disambiguate).

> Arabic numerals are /supposed to be/ read right to left in little-endian order

I'm not sure what your source for this is. I suppose it makes sense when you have a number embedded in some RTL text. However, I speak Arabic (though I cannot read nor write), and numbers are not pronounced as "1 and 20 and 400". The order is actually a bit jumbled: that particular number is pronounced "four hundred and one and twenty".

In general, higher-magnitude digits are uttered before lower-magnitude ones in spoken Arabic, just as in English. The exceptions are that units are uttered before tens ("one and twenty"), and that the numbers from eleven to twenty have special names (as they do in English, i.e. we say "eleven" as opposed to "one and ten")
