Hi,

A few days ago, I extracted the src.tar.gz from the 4.8 CDROM and
synchronized the src tree to -stable through CVS.  I expected to see
about 5 files being changed, but to my surprise a lot (all?) files in
src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/ were also updated.
This seems weird, because as far as I know, no commits were done to CVS
in the perl directory with a OPENBSD_4_8 tag and certainly not so many.

I looked at a few files for the differences and until know I've seen only
changes in the comments, for example:
(src0/ is a clean copy from src.tar.gz from the CDROM, src/ is synced
through CVS to OPENBSD_4_8)

$ diff -u src0/gnu/usr.bin/perl/x2p/Makefile.SH 
src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/x2p/Makefile.SH

Does anybody know what has happened?  I assume that my src tree (after
syncing with CVS and therefore with all the 'new' files in
gnu/usr.bin/perl) is still suitable for building 4.8-stable.  Is this
assumption correct?

Thanks,
Maurice
