As discussed earlier on fedora-perl-devel-list, there seemingly is no 
good reason to have this versioned suid binary along with "sperl".  When 
I asked Chip "why!?" all he said in response was "Symmetry!"

/usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl5.8.6

This seems like an odd reason.  And I don't see any benefit to keeping 
either versioned binary.  Is this another strange upstream perl thing?

Too late to remove it now... but I'm thinking we should remove it in the 
future unless someone finds some good reason to keep it.
