Hmm, good thing you pointed this out.  I managed to install the dsc and
diff files of perl 5.004.04-6, with the .orig.tar.gz of perl 5.005.02.
The perl_5.004.04.orig.tar.gz in Incoming does not have the right md5sum.
Fortunately there is a perl_5.004.04.orig.tar.gz in hamm which does, so
I installed that in slink just now.  This means that the perl source package
will be wrong for a day or two, until the mirrors catch up.

Thanks,
