I'm busy right now getting a "final" version of perl-5.8 out now. It is marked with "Test", because I wanted some feedback at first before releasing it as a stable version. My workaround for setup.exe's behaviour is to install perl-5.8 manually over the existing 5.6.1 installation. Just extract the binary package from the root path. Gerrit -- =^..^=
