Last I remember, it was 70-odd platforms.  I've only been able to find 
Jarkko's slides from OSCON 2002 after 5.8.0 was released:

New Platforms:

	AtheOS
	Mac OS Classic
	Mac OS X
	MinGW
	NonStop-UX
	NetWare
	UTS

Regained Platforms:

	BeOS
	DYNIX/ptx
	Mac OS Classic
	NCR MP-RAS
	POSIX-BC
	VM/ESA
	z/OS (OS/390)

Lost Platforms:
	AmigaOS

Throw in at least five free BSDs: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and 
BSDi, GNU/Linux in all of its incarnations, several Unix variants 
including Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX, VMS, Cygwin, Windows, Mac OS X, and 
more obscure platforms such as OS/2, WinCE, and the PlayStation.  I've 
missed a few in that list too.  That's 30 so far.
