Thanks, I know. I haven't provided enough background. If you follow
this route carefully, you will encounter circular dependencies. Gisle
has done a fine job in breaking circular dependencies within the test
scripts. A bug in the newest perl 5.004_65 broke Gisle's work by
changing the tet of an error message. Meanwhile it has been more or
less decided, that this is a bug in perl, not in Gisle's code.
