in reply to Upgrade help needed moving from 5.6.1 to 5.8.2

In addition to what ptkdb said, it helps to see what other have done http://cpanplus.keradel.com/cgi-bin/smoke_db.cgi?filter=1
-> filter for bsd, perl 5.8.2
-> http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.daily-build.reports/11198

So it seems perl 5.8.2 has only been tested (and reported) on freebsd 4.6.2-release i386 gcc 2.95.3 , so now you know what work definitively ;)(and that we need more freebsd smokers)

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
