Hello, independent of the discussion who is currently the pumpkin for maint-5.8 could someone please apply http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/d42378e0ada9dd1d4ab5ff to maint-5.8 ? This adds only one "!"... If someone pulls from maint-5.8 then he will get a working suidperl with this applied... Thanks.
