Current latex2html is looking for perl5.8.1:

Shouldn't there be a preventive rebuild of everything depending on perl?


yes: do not write stuping programs that rely on specific versions of
perl.
since there're still maintream authors that do this, we've to patch
such programs to rely on /usr/bin/perl and not /usr/bin/perl-<version>
Why? How one program can be sure for instance that /usr/bin/perl is
compatible with old version (for instance imaging /usr/bin/perl is perl 6.0
and program was only tested against perl 5.8.1)?
