Any version of mod_perl 1.x works with perl-5.8.1-RC3. However for mod_perl 2.0 you must use the current cvs version. mod_perl 1.99_09 and earlier releases won't work with perl-5.8.1-RC3. You can get it from here:
http://perl.apache.org/download/source.html#Development_mod_perl_2_0_Source_Distribution
If you can test your favorite CPAN modules with this perl release you will do yourself and others a big favor if you discover some bugs and get them fixed before 5.8.1 sees the light.
Thanks.

The randomised hashes are on. Therefore please unleash your code base on this, or maybe it's vice versa. Since we are talking randomised here, run the tests a few times...
Also, I'm still wary of the new module PKI signature hooks in CPAN.pm, please test that carefully too (like for example how does it look and feel when installed to a box with no Perl, or to a box with no gpg).
I'm very eager to get the 5.8.1 final out as soon as possible, not that this comes as a big surprise to anyone.
