RE: back-perl on with perl 5.8.0

["Howard Chu" <hyc@highlandsun.com>]

This should work in the upcoming OpenLDAP 2.1.16. (So far I have only tested
it with Perl 5.6.1, haven't built 5.8 yet.) There is already a bug report
(ITS#2356) on this in the tracking system. You can follow its progress if
you're interested.
