perl 5.8.0 package status update

[Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org>]

The transition to Perl 5.8.0 is now almost complete.  The only major
outstanding issue is building on mips*, which should hopefully be
resolved by the 5.8.0-13 packages (which now use gcc 3.2 on some
platforms).

Some issues which will need to be added to the sarge release notes with
respect to Perl:

 "This release breaks binary compatibility with previous versions of
  perl.  Users will need to re-build any locally installed binary (XS)
  modules.

  DB_File now uses libdb4.0 (previously libdb2).  Any DB_File databases
  created with earlier perl packages will need to be upgraded before
  being used with the current module with the db4.0_upgrade program (in
  the libdb4.0-util package)."

There are now only a handful of packages remaining which have dependency
problems:
