>Description:
When upgrading GHC to version 6.8.3, version 6.4.2 is also built.  However, 
6.4.2's configure script looks for very specific versions of Perl.  The latest 
version does not pass 6.4.2's check, but is otherwise acceptable.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build GHC with Perl 5.14.2 installed.
>Fix:
Apply the following patch
