Let me see...

"prove" from p5-test-harness is nothing like "prove" from perl5.8.  
They have virtually no lines in common.

"pod2man" and "pod2text" from perl5.8 are copyright 1999, 2000, 2001  
while the versions in p5-podlators are newer with additional  
copyright years 2004, 2006, 2008. The embedded pod documentation has  
been updated, and the new versions have a few extra options,  
including UTF-8 support.
