Description Toby Corkindale 2005-06-16 03:36:30 UTC

Perl 5.8.7 was released 3rd May 2005. It would be nice to have an ebuild for it.

Yep (subject for a blog entry already) - I've been too wrapped up with other 
perl related tree stuff; 5.8.6 is going to be marked stable when I get back 
from vacation, 5.8.7 will go into the tree arched, and the 5.9.X will go in 
package masked, pretty much all together at once just to keep life fun. I just 
need to wait to be back from vacation (next week) to be able to handle the 
mountain of bugs that it generates :)
