This is an interesting question. I am in the same boat, running 5.8.3 build 809 on XP Pro. All I have been able to find is the following
If you are applying these patches, you'll need to make sure you have
GNU patch v2.5 or later and the latest release against which the
diffs are made. Some files in the perl distribution have carriage-ret
+urns
by design. You'll need to remove them before you you can apply the
patches.
% find -name \* -print | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\r$//'
% patch -p1 -N < diffs/3479
% patch -p1 -N < diffs/3480
[..etc..]
in the
Readme in patch dir Let us know if you find anything more.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
