Re: [perl #60678] Configure.pl manifest problem on Win32

I'm using Version 5.8.8; the full -Version report is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 25 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Should I be using 5.10 for Parrot building?

Thank you,  Peter Schwenn
