Jarkko has released release candidate 5 for perl 5.8.1 http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JH/JHI/perl-5.8.1-RC5.tar.gz
This is almost certainly the last release candidate, and I'd expect the real thing to escape within a week if no show stopper bugs are found. Test now, or forever hold your peace. (Or at least until 5.8.2, whichever comes sooner) If you do test with it, read the section in perldelta on hash randomisation. Nicholas Clark
