consider regression of perl!



Hello,
    Considering how unstable perl 5.80 currently is, wouldn't it be
wise to regress sid back to perl 5.60 and move 5.80 into experimental
instead? So far this upgrade has done major damage to dpkg by breaking
install-info making any additional glibc builds in sid impossible.
I have also found similar bugreports in bugzilla of perl segfaulting
in certain circumstances. With debian's heavy reliance on perl for its
system maintenance scripts this current move to 5.80 seems far too
destablizing for sid. Especially as it will wreak havoc with any move
to gcc 3.2 builds.
                                     Jack
