What are you thinking of here Karanbir? Using the current C5 perl package (so 5.8.8) but with the upstream fixes applied? Or backporting the FC8 package? Or something more divergent from upstream (e.g. do we turn off ithreads)?
I was hoping someone else would come up with that plan and take ownership of it :D However, what I intend to do today is backport the fix's into the latest version of perl already released into CentOS-5 so its available as an interim fix. I am sure something will come down the line from upstream, and when it does we can replace our interim fix with whatever does come down, when it comes down. Stay tuned.
I assume we're not thinking of rebasing to 5.10, for instance?
not me no.
