To test this, compile a perl 5.8.0 with long double support:
rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
sh Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl-ld -Duselongdouble
make
make test
make install
After this, parrots "perl Configure.pl" defaults to long double. To use 8 byte doubles again you can run "perl Configure.pl --floatval=double".
