The latest upstream perl 5.8.8 Release Candidate 1 RPMs have been built
for Fedora Core 5 / Rawhide and are available for testing from :
http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/perl/FC-5/5.8.8-0_RC1/
It would be most helpful if those of you with FC-5 systems could
please try them out and let me know of any issues .
When perl 5.8.8 Final Release is released, I'll submit it to the FC-5 distro.
Thanks & Regards,
