Steve Hay mailed to ask whether README.macosx should change. Currently, it has
"The latest Perl release (5.8.8 as of this writing)..."

-The latest Perl (5.8.1-RC3 as of this writing) builds without changes
-under Mac OS X. Under the 10.3 "Panther" release, all self-tests pass,
+The latest Perl (5.8.8 as of this writing) builds without changes

and all standard features are supported.
so it's been horribly out of date at times. I'm not sure what to do, but
as we've shipped a lot of perl versions without it saying the current
