You should upgrade to 5.8.5 if at all possible (or at least to 5.8.1); there are
a number of important bug fixes.

I suspect that is actually a bug in perl 5.8.0, since that variable shouldn't be

I also cannot see how this is the case; if I load Core.pm via the debugger, the
$SVN::Core::VERSION is not set before the line you commented out.
