   Fair enough.  I suggest the following patch.  (The 5.8.4 version is 
   arbitrary.  It's the oldest 5.8.x I happen to have installed for easy 
   testing.  It should perhaps be replaced with whatever version regular 
   Parrot contributors are going to be using.)

FWIW, I build Parrot regularly using 5.8.1.  Out of curiosity, I tried
it with 5.8.0 (which is the oldest version I have readily available),
and it only needed a trivial tweak (attached), which would allow us to
say "Needs Perl 5.8.x" here.  Do we care enough that I should commit
this?
