Thanks, everyone, for your prompt and courteous responses. I haven't
been paying sufficient attention to the day-to-day, week-by-week grind
on this list, and I apologize for asking what must seem to everyone else
like a dumb question. I wake up periodically and unbreak the Perl build
on VOS, and then I go away again for a while.
I will update my scripts to run my regression tests against the more
recent (and supported) copies of Perl.
I agree that there isn't much point in just making patches that unbreak
the build of an unsupported release; I think that putting out a new
release should provide a rather wide set of assurances; getting it to
build is the least of the concerns. Being able to give a nice crisp
answer ("Perl 5.8 is no longer supported") is far better than giving a
long and complicated (and ultimately confusing) answer.
