Well, it's 5.8.4 instead of 5.8.5 for a start :)

If I was that concerned, I could just build Perl 5.8.5 from source.
But that would also mean building my own mod_perl. And that's a can of
worms that I'd like to keep firmly closed.

I decided a year or so ago that wherever possible I'd stick with rpms
supplied by my distribution. Generally that makes life much simpler.
