I stillkeep perl-5.6.1 at the mirrors for people who don't believe that
the new perl-5.8 is ok. Now I have updated to 5.8.5 and removed 5.8.2
but got complaints because the postgres perl extension is linked against
5.8.2 DLL. I need to rethink the package naming if it is not possible
to get mroe than one prev tag into setup.ini (automatically, as
mentioned it works well with setup.exe).
