There was an agreement on 5.6.1 a few weeks back on IRC, if I recall correctly, I haven't heard anything about 5.8.
This change was made here:

Configuration:
- Sprinkle a few 'use warnings;'
- Some code beautification
- Explicit use of Parrot::BuildUtil::parrot_version()
- Use the 'our' syntax in Configure.pl
- $description in the steps, needs no trailing '...'


Bernhard, was the upgrade to 5.8 intentional and necessary?

In February I was fairly sure that Perl 5.8.0 was already required. But I must have mixed that up
as I can't find that mentioned on p6i.

The reason for making an explicit check was that I didn't recall whether
'our' was introduced in 5.6.0 or 5.8.0. As 'our' was introduced in 5.6.0,
I have lowered the requirements for Configure.pl to 5.006.

CU, Bernhard
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with this, but I know that perl 
5.6 on OS X had troubles with parsing pmc files. (in my case at least, 
then after an upgrade to 5.8, the problems were gone)
Maybe this is it?
