Well, for some reason your whole patch seems to have got through this
time.

However, your patch as is stands is unacceptable for two reasons:

First, you are patching against 5.8.4 whereas we only accept patches
aginst bleedperl (unless there's a good reason otherwise).

Second, your patch alters a whole bunch of irrelevant files, most likely
due to a problem with your version control system altering the $Id$
fields in various files, eg

diff -c '/home/kmurugan/perl-5.8.4/t/cmd/elsif.t' 
'/home/kmurugan/workarea/perl_current/t/cmd/elsif.t'
Index: ./t/cmd/elsif.t

Other than that, I haven't looked closely at the patch.
