I've made a 5.8.x snapshot. http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/P/perl-32984.tar.bz2 (or http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/P/perl-32984.tar.gz )
I'm particularly curious how it fares on VMS, and which changes I've not integrated that I should do to fix problems on VMS, Win32, or other platforms I don't understand that well. (I know that Win32 isn't on fire because of Steve Hay's regular-as-clockwork smoke tests) I'd like to get to 5.8.9 soon. Preferably before a: The German Perl Workshop b: 5.10.1 c: Christmas although I don't actually control the timing of any of those events. Nicholas Clark
