Michael,

Okay.  I just today have built binary rpms for FC1's perl on FL's build
server.  They are now up to version "perl-5.8.3-17.4.legacy".  The
changelog is below.  I will post these to the fedoralegacy.org/contrib
directory since you seem to need them, Michael.  Just be aware that the
perl-5.8.3-17.4.legacy packagers do not cover the CVE-2005-3962 "Integer
overflow in the format string functionality...." vulnerability.

SHA1SUM					  PACKAGE NAME
1cb9e9361e3834ff0ceba92a149ae04bb81bb9da  perl-5.8.3-17.4.legacy.src.rpm

8cbc8bcf70441aec5ae9d5c56a550ac6fb6a328d  perl-5.8.3-17.4.legacy.i386.rpm
0af21553a7c40aac057d1ca7400485199eb6adae  perl-suidperl-5.8.3-17.4.legacy.i386.rpm

Note that these are *not* signed, but these are probably going to be the
packages that will be pushed to updates testing.  No testing at all has
been done on these binary packages, but the 5.8.3-17.3 packages that they
come from has been running on my own FC1 machine for months now with nary a
glitch.

Also note that no new security patches have been added in this package
since the one you've downloaded and installed (perl-5.8.3-18.1.legacy).
But there is some code cleanup and a bug was fixed that affects CGI.pm.
