Finally! Saying goodbye to perl 5.005
Any other gotchas moving from 5.005 to 5.8.0?
Don't use 5.8.0. Build perl 5.8.6 from source yourself. RedHat perl 5.8.0 was an unsound release. See, for example:
Re: Weak references are not implemented
Re^3: Segmentation fault using LWP and threads
Re^3: Playing with "funny" chars
Re^3: Problem with print chr()
