Well, I haven't tested it with Orca, but on Solaris, it had some issues
with the Math::BigInt modules.  There was also a compile and link issue
when you build a libperl.so and name it libperl-5.8.so, instead of using
libperl.a.  There may have been one or two other issues, but I don't
recall them right now.

In any case, I'll be waiting for 5.8.1 release candidate 1 before I
try again, and then probably file some bug reports so that 5.8.1 fixes
my issues.

Best,
Blair
