A couple of days ago I talked to Warren and I proposed him
the following steps (patches) to update the rawhide perl
to 5.8.7.


First patch against perl 5.8.6 specfile
---------------------------------------

   goals:
   * reformat specfile
   * correct a couple of things
   * drop the MANIFEST.all file (perl package)
   * drop the MANIFEST.suidperl file (perl-suidperl package)

Second patch against perl 5.8.6 specfile
----------------------------------------

   goals:
   * handle the removal of core modules vs external packages
     (perl-Filter, perl-Filter-Simple, and perl-Time-HiRes)

Third patch against perl 5.8.6 specfile
---------------------------------------

   goals:
   * update it to 5.8.7
   * remove the CGI.pm patches

   status:
   * still incomplete as four patches fail to apply


Other comments/suggestions/patches are welcome.
