I've uploaded eperl_2.2.14-5 to incoming with these fixes. This version
does compile with Perl 5.8, but eperl segfaults.
In order to fix those reentrancy problems, the whole Perl stuff has been
moved into eperl_perl5.c so that eperl_main.c is not tainted by Perl
redefinition of some C routines. These changes are not guaranteed to be
harmless, so I would be happy if there was a more robust solution.
Anyway, eperl_2.2.14-6 has been uploaded to the staging area.
