This is an interesting question. I am in the same boat, running 5.8.3 build 809 on XP Pro. All I have been able to find is the following
If you are applying these patches, you'll need to make sure you have
GNU patch v2.5 or later and the latest release against which the
diffs are made. Some files in the perl distribution have carriage-ret
+urns
by design. You'll need to remove them before you you can apply the
patches.
% find -name \* -print | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\r$//'
% patch -p1 -N < diffs/3479
% patch -p1 -N < diffs/3480
[..etc..]
in the
Readme in patch dir Let us know if you find anything more.
