I found out during the switch from my "home compiled 5.6.0" perl to your version.
I recompiled a couple of modules which I used, with your current perl version under
cpan and installed them smoothly. Then I compiled DBI:DBD in a plain shell without
using cpan and realized that all perl generated files (scripts, man pages and even the
Makefile) had CRLF's.
After a little bit of reading docu I found the culprit of being
PERLIO=perlio
in the cpan script.
Now I have PERLIO=raw in my general environment and it seems that all perl generated
files now have LF's again (I hate CRLF's).
Just by chance I looked at the scripts and man pages from your perl-5.8.0 distro and
voila they also have CRLF's although a perl -V suggests that you have used PERLIO=raw
during buidling.
Hmmmmmmmmmmhhh ?
