Is "perl-5.8-maint" otherwise known as: perl-5.9.5.tar.gz?

    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?

        I don't have any windows programs at all, but since it's the usual tool for smoking perl, I guess there is a version somewhere.

        If you want to download a recent snapshot instead, you can (with any client that does http, and you can still rsync to get it up-to-date).

        (Dialup is really sad, it's only three years that I got rid of it...)

        If you have cygwin that has the rsync program available as a package
