Although this is off-topic, the fix has been reverted for RC2. If a
workaround for mod_perl exists when jhi gets back, the consensus is to
reenable it, so we'll probably see it back for RC3.

In any case, if 5.8.1 it goes out with the fix, its going to be
interesting how many latent bugs the fix exposes. The perl core has
fixed 4 so far, and identified at least two external packages that
break their self-tests.

SA, being one premire application of perl should test with RC1, or RC2
with hash randomization to see if you can tease out any latent bugs so
they're fixed before 5.8.1 goes live.

Please see this post by jhi regarding RC2:

Please see this pointing out the issues already seen (and liable to strike):
