Uh.  5.8.9 does, but 5.8.8 does not.  Not sure if this is a problem.
Ancient buildfarm member pademelon (Tom's HPUX stuff) has 5.8.9 -- but
that was probably installed by hand.  Brolga (really ancient Cygwin
stuff) has 5.10.1.  As far as I can tell (perldoc perldelta5101) it was
upgraded to File::Path 2.07_03 which should be fine.  Spoonbill has
5.12.2; 5.12.0 already included the fixes in 5.10.1 so it should be fine
also.  Friarbird has 5.12.4.

Castoroides has 5.8.4.  Oops.
