Unicode 5.0.0 in Perl 5.8.8?

I have no idea how much that will break, but I desperately needed support for Unicode 5.0.0 (or later) in the standard perl 5.8.8 that runs on my MacOSX laptop I do the IDN development on. Reason for this is that need to test some stuff I have written that slurps the Unicode data with what the perl libraries do, and then running some 4.x version of Unicode (as 5.8.8 supports) is just not good enough.

What I did was to replace the unicore files with what is from the 5.10 distribution of perl, and rerun the mktables script. That seems to have done the trick, and the new stuff seems to be enough backwards compatible to (so far) not create any problems.
