* Updates of many standard Perl modules.
* Performance enhancements for loadable modules and memory usage.
* Fixed bug when running with "-w". Previously when running with
warnings enabled globally via "-w", selective disabling of specific
warning categories would actually turn off all warnings. This
is now fixed; now "no warnings 'io';" will only turn off warnings
in the "io" class. This bug fix may cause some programs to start
correctly issuing warnings.
* Perl 5.8.4 introduced a change so that assignments of "undef" to a
scalar, or of an empty list to an array or a hash, were optimised away.
As this could cause problems when "goto" jumps were involved, this
change has been backed out.
* Using the sprintf function with some formats could lead to a
buffer overflow in some specific cases. This has been fixed,
along with several other bugs, notably in bounds checking.
* Fixed bug in pkgsrc-installed perl-5.8.7 and all subsequent
PKGREVISIONs, where perl didn't look for site modules under
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl, but only under
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0, and similarly for the vendor
modules.
* Honor PKGMANDIR when installing man pages.
