The one minor, (and likely irrelevant) downside to this change
would be any of code which relies on the 'fields' pragma for
pseudo-hash performance benefits is out-of-luck since
pseudo-hashes were removed in Perl 5.9.

Our only use of the 'fields' pragma is from Danga::Socket
(and descendent) classes.  Fwiw, I have never used Perl 5.8 on
public-inbox myself, either.
