I intentionally use oldest-supported-versions of tools on my HPPA box,
to keep us honest on that front. It's running gcc 2.95.3, since you
asked, but that's not too relevant to the immediate question: what do
we consider our oldest supported version of Perl? If we decide it's
not 5.8, I'll reinstall that ... but allowing \h seems a pretty lame
excuse for ratcheting up a whole major release series.
