Details

perl-5.8.8-1 does not create a symlink in /usr/lib/perl5/ to /usr/lib/perl5/current. This causes problems because it was compiled with INC to look there first. For example, the program 'convmv' won't run because it can't find Getops/Long.pm. Manually creating the symlink fixes the problem.
