A few days ago, I extracted the src.tar.gz from the 4.8 CDROM and

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)
...
Does anybody know what has happened?
There was a late change in the keyword substitution mode for those
files. That's a per-file mode (note that it's *not* per-revision
per-mode) and there are no email messages generated for them, just as
no messages generated for imports.
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?
Yep, it's good.
OK, thanks for your answer.
