Changes to DLL interface between Perl 5.6 and Perl 5.8

Re: Porting Perl 5.6 to Perl 5.8 need \P{print} | RE: Changes to DLL interface between Perl 5.6 and Perl 5.8
So we have a project stuck on Perl 5.6 and are finally looking to upgrade 
to Perl 5.8.

One unusual piece of code is a C++ program that loads the Perl56.dll and 
interacts with it in a number of ways to run regular expressions and other 
pieces of code . . . not really running "perl scripts" per se, but just 
doing a eval on a few lines here and there.

We have most of the Perl 5.6-> 5.8 items understood and have been through 
all the documentation so the upgrade of our Perl code itself is well 
understood.

However, the one thing that none of us has seen is anything to indicate if 
there are any changes in the way I'll need to interact with the DLL.

Is the interface to the Perl 5.6 and Perl 5.8 DLL the same?

Or will other coding changes be required as well . . . if so is that 
documented anywhere?

Frank
