Description: Perl 5.8.0 built for the SL-5500.
 Installs into $PKG_ROOT/mnt/perl during runtime. At around 30Mb, it needs to be
 installed on either a removable or an NFS filesystem. The filesystem type
 must case sensitive with filenames. At that size, installation can be expected to
 take 2 or 3 hours, especially if the IPK is on that filesystem too - go do the shopping!
 .
 Its runtime internals believe it to be installed at /mnt/pkgs/perl, so
 "ln -s $PKG_ROOT/perl /mnt/pkgs/perl" is arranged during installation.
 .
 If /mnt/pkgs is an NFS filesystem then 
         iplg -d /mnt/pkgs ... will be excellent. Otherwise,
         ipkg -d /mnt/card ..., or
         ipkg -d /mnt/cf ...
 will suffice.
 .
 The internals of the "ipkg" program require as much as the "install size" to be available
 for temporaries, on the target filesystem. So you'd better have lots of space available
 before starting (ie about 68Mb).
 .
 Finish up by putting /mnt/pkgs/perl/perl5.8.0/bin into your PATH.
