The first (and probably only) release candidate for Perl 5.8.4 is available here for anyone who wants to try it out:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.4-RC1.tar.bz2 http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.4-RC1.tar.gz For now your best bet is to use -o or /ODS2 when untarring on ODS-5 volumes to avoid various build issues that can come up. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
