Package: perl
Version: 5.8.8-6
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

perl 5.8.8-6 fails 1 test on MIPS and hppa, which keeps it from being
updated in Etch. This is not meant as a useful bug report, but as a
"reminder" (in case that's useful) that as usual perl FTBFS-s on release
arches stall other packages. This time, subversion built with the new
perl on some arches and is tied to perl's update, which means that this
FTBFS is blocking the neon transition, making perl the top staller.
AFAICS, this is the last blocker remaining for the neon transition.
