Interesting.
I'm travelling right now with my small laptop only
but will hopefully be able to look at this this weekend.
I also want to look at perl's mymalloc. (apparently double string size)

5.8 is available at http://rurban.xarch.at/cygr/perl/

tar xfz perl-5.8.8-4.tar.bz2 -C /
is enough, but you won't have luck installing XS modules via CPAN I suppose.
