At this point, I stopped.
Executive summary: There are a lot of little things. Each one is
probably fixable without too much effort, but it's not worth the effort
unless someone else cares enough to routinely test with perl-5.6.
Otherwise, the requirements (in README and Configure.pl) should simply be
changed to perl-5.8.whatever.
My take: our long term goal is to eliminate the dependency we have on perl.
Let's not spend more time making it work with 5.6, but instead, devote that
time to furthering the the long term goal. I vote we just up the
(temporary!) requirement.
I'll be happy to help anyone who wants help getting perl-5.6 installed.
