New LectroTest release 0.20_08 for Perl

I just released version 0.20_08 of LectroTest for Perl. In this version, I removed dependencies on newer Perl features to make LectroTest backward compatible with older Perls. I tested on 5.6.1 (i386-linux; Red Hat 7.2), but it might work with even older Perls.

Because the code base has been stable, I have upgraded the development-stage metadata from alpha to beta.

Other improvements include the following:

• Paste can now be used to join elements of generated lists, which are "flattened" before pasting.
• Minor documentation improvements.

As always, see the LectroTest section of the site for more information or to download the code or RPMs. The distribution tarball should be hitting CPAN shortly.
