ActiveState 5.8.0 vs 5.8.1

[Bob X]

This may not have a difinitive answer. But will the modules I use for 5.8.0
work/be available with 5.8.1? Basically I am using HTML-Template and
CGI-Application and those are the ones I would be worried about.

yes.

the 'hard cut over' was between 5.6 and 5.8 in
which underlying XS code based perl modules became
incompatible with each other and required that
the upgrade from 5.6 to 5.8 include rebuilding
all of those modules.

the shift from M.N.O to M.N.(O++) is merely a
fixit of the underlying M.N.O release and no
effort was made to shift the underlying core API.
