Reminder: MacPerl 5.8 is *not* going to be binary compatible with MacPerl 5.6.

Don't gripe to me, gripe to p5p.  ;)  No, really, there are good reasons
for it, and if you care, read the p5p archives over the last month or so.

Regardless, all your favorite 3d-party extensions will need to be rebuilt.
I've added 5.8 as an option to MMP ( http://dev.macperl.org/mmp ).

I am hoping to get a developer build/release of 5.7/5.8 out in the next
week (maybe this weekend, I just need to find the time to build it).
What's left to be done, from what I can tell, in no particular order:

* Encode
* Testing of lib/ and ext/
* Main 5.8 Release
* Some new GUI features from Thomas
* Various existing bugfixes (these are for both 5.6 and 5.8)
