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

    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).

        BT (local telco) have been promising me that I'll be able to get ADSL here "real soon now" for 6+ years, but the last test in January was still no go. I also had a cellular broadband guy come to demonstrate his wares, but even he had to admit that the minor increase in throughput I would get here, combined with the extra cost and frequent drop-outs wasn't worth it.

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