On the GNU ftp site, it's got:

	-r--r--r--  1 root     system     586178 Feb  7  1993 perl-4.036.tar.gz
	-r--r--r--  1 root     system    2581811 Nov 11  1997 perl-5.004_04.tar.gz
	-r--r--r--  1 root     system    3431570 Jul 28  1998 perl-5.005.01.tar.gz
	-r--r--r--  1 root     system    3491732 Sep 28  1998 perl-5.005.02.tar.gz

Aren't odd perl minor numbers "pre-release" releases?  So, 5.004_04
would be the latest "released" version, and 5.005.02 the latest
"pre-release" version?
