perl 5.8.8 is no longer supported.
From man 8 sticky on FreeBSD 8.2:
BUGS
Neither open(2) nor mkdir(2) will create a file with the sticky bit set.
This isn't a perl bug, I'm not sure it's worthwhile working around
this limitation on BSDs.
mkdir -m 01775 foo
on FreeBSD does set the sticky bit, but it also ignores umask.
