the perl exe, but all other binaries were only available without
versioning, same as in the Linux distros I have my hands on, btw.
This is intended and current practice for perl developers with a lot of
different perl versions around to test their libraries against.
Erm... that's ok for *your* test and build machines, but this is a
stable release you're planning, not a test version.
I'm planning to release the test version also. See the thread under
[perl-5.9.5]. The package is ready without any testsuite failure, it's
just not yet released upstream and we are still finding silly bugs.
But if the additional 5.8.8 script suffix is a problem I can pull them
out. For me it made things clearer.
