Oct 9, 2003	- 5.8.0 -> 5.8.1
		- Added md5sum verification of the tarball
		- Create ~/installed with mode 700
		- Set to re-use existing tarball
		- Added update of CPAN after installing the new perl
		- Moved -Dotherlibdirs from the default to a note at the top
		- Updated notes about building perl to use older versions'
		  modules
		- Added -Dcccdlflags='-fPIC' to ./Configure
		- /usr/bin/perl is no longer overwritten if it exists, so
		  we rename it to perl.old if it's a binary and we zap it if
		  it's a symlink (usually to a binary like /usr/bin/perl5.8.0)
		- If you don't have any /usr/bin/perl (you won't), make
		  install will install the binary as /usr/bin/perl and
		  /usr/bin/perl5.8.1, so we replace /usr/bin/perl with a
		  symlink to /usr/bin/perl5.8.1, and add a symlink from
		  /usr/local/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl to cover all the
		  bases (a Slack upgrade, a source upgrade, those who keep
		  multiple versions of perl, ...)
		- Added note about reading perldelta
		- Set to remove old version tarballs from ~/installed
		- Added note about CPAN module settings
		- Make /usr/bin/perl a symlink, create one in /usr/local/bin too
		- Updated a few more notes
		- Added removal of old source directories in /usr/local/src
Aug 14, 2002	- Added note about upgrading from non-version specific perl
		  (like Slack packaged perl, older Jason source-built perl)
Aug 12, 2002	- Added note about modules with c code
