what patchlevel perl-5.8.0-rc2 corresponds to?

[Courage]

Dear all,

Who knows what patchlevel perl-5.8.0-rc2 corresponds to?

The reason I'm asking is simple -- I've downloaded a snapshot that, after reading p5p, seems to me to be the latest -- [e-mail], and I want to test it in my favourite configurations (BC++, WinCE, MSVC++)

Is it appropriate? thanks!

RC 2 is change 17431 - the only difference to the snapshot you have is the missing patchlevel output in perl -V.
You will notice perl -v doesn't say ...with 1 registered patch.

It generally is a good idea to try out developer snapshots of perl and feed your feedback back (;-)) to [e-mail] - preferably using perlbug.

wow! I'm 90 patches behind a front line!
Didn't you did a typo: 17431 <=> 17341?

Okay, I started downloading of RC2 and after ~1hr will know the truth.

Thank you,
