[PATCH] Fix broken Perl version dependency in fvwm-menu-desktop

[Sergey Vlasov]

use version '5.0008' does not do what was intended - the proper form
for Perl version dependency is use 5.008.  The broken statement does
not do anything useful and breaks packaging at least in ALT Linux
(use statements in perl scripts are translated to RPM dependencies,
therefore the package gets an unresolvable dependency on a nonexistent
version of the version.pm module).

Thank you, but I've already fixed this with a runtime check for XML::Parser.
