Oh sorry, I see we differ on the *.perl scripts. You're saying 5.6 for
those. I was suggesting 5.8 for the *.perl scripts based on:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/94523

Anyway, I see that there are basically a few categories to decide on:

1) gitweb
2) the *.perl scripts
3) Git.pm
4) the parts of the test suite that use perl

I think there is consensus that (1) is 5.8.1 for unicode reasons. (3)
and (4), for all practical purposes, are apparently 5.6.0. So that
leaves (2), which is either 5.6.0 or 5.8.1 depending upon which gmane
thread you consult.
