where to go for perl with CVE-2007-5116 patch?
I can't figure out how to get a source version of perl with recent security fixes applied to it, or even get a patch to apply to 5.8.8 or similiar. What am i missing?

Nicholas applied the patch to maint-58 [activestate.com] on 11/06.
I haven't heard what if any plan there is for a 5.8.9 as you suggest - CPAN regression testing is pretty busy with 5.10-RC2. Vendors / downstream distros are applying the patch to their 5.8.8+, as they should. If you have a security-critical perl app that isn't carefully untainting user-supplied
