Gerrit,

Perl-5.8 is not working at all on WinME and, despite my best efforts, I 
am unable to debug the problem because the "race" condition happens 
before the dubugger can hook.  As Jason points out in the release notes, 
even after being rebased, Python cannot pass any of the threads or 
forking tests.  I'm out of idea, so as a minor representative of people 
who may still be using WinME, I kindly request that you provide a rebuid 
of perl-5.6.x againt 1.5.1 (still marked as previous of course).

Also, for 5.8.1, can you turn back on MakeMaker's bzipping of manpages, 
like you had during the 5.8.0RC's?  You might also considier targeting 
/usr/share/man, as that is what we are hoping to transition to...

Cheers
