	The link to Leopard's perl5.8 is this:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/perl-51/	


	Even though it says 10.5, it's the same for 10.5.1 as that particular  
project was unchanged in the update. I tried looking around for an  
obvious hint to a relevant patch we could use, but didn't find it.... / 
me fears diffing the two source trees!

	Regards,...
