Hopefully, the imminent 5.8.9 will have resolved some of the new quirks, but only time will tell.

That sounds a bit fatalistic.

One way you can help to actually make it better is to test it now. If you have an application with heavy threads usage, download 5.8-maint now and report any errors.

      No, perl-5.9.5 is a development version that led to perl-5.10.0.

      You can download the sources like this: 

      rsync -avz rsync://public.activestate.com/perl-5.8.x/ .

      [download]
      Or like this: 
      git clone git://utsl.gen.nz/perl
cd perl
git-checkout -b my-perl589 origin/p4/maint-5.8/perl

      [download]

        You can download the sources like this: rsync ...

        You have a version of rsync that runs under XP? And a at reasonable speed over a dialup line? And that will restart after the line drops without wasting the first hour working out how far it got last time?
