Did anyone test building with perl-5.8?

It's not a perl problem it was probably just a tired developer :-)

Yup, the algo is basically like this: line: while (<>) { last line if /START/;}; line: while (<>) { last line if /END/; do_some_thing } No if the whole file is read without a "START", it comes to the second while and, oh wonder, no input. (Perls '<>' notation includes some very black magic if you ask me, just read the eof() chapter in 'man perlfunc')

Well in principle the whole MIRRORS file cannot generated by manual.texi any more so the code will probably vanish from Docs/Makefile.am.
