I found it a real pain to set up Perl 5.8.8 to re-check recent TAP
changes against it. It turns out there's a much easier way than
messing with VMs or manually doing a source install, so I documented
it to save others the future pain.

It'd be nice to commit this at least to 9.6 and v10. Trivial one-file
docs patch. There's no README to patch in 9.4 or 9.5.
