The last Perl 5.8.0 I built was on 3-Dec-2002. I would have used the Perl 5.6.1 manifest files to generate the zip file. >When I generated the Perl 5.6.1 binary package, I had to hack the install >scripts, to install into my temporary package-creation area.

I don't remember haveing to do any hacking (but I may be wrong as this was done last Oct/Nov). The Perl 5.8.0 binary file at clio includes the manifest files. Perl built from the FSF source tarball without any problems as far as I could see, but since the origianl build you have patched Perl 5.6.1 and there were reports of problems with the Perl 5.8.0 last year regarding help docs and some other quirks. Instead of spending allot of time on updating Perl 5.8.0 and due to work comittments I now only build Perl 5.6.1. Andrew
