* Eric, thanks for the hint.  I have this four-patch series.
  Could people with perl 5.6 please check them?

Does not work here (ActiveState Build 811, Perl 5.8.6):

'-' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Portability, Ease of Coding, Few CPAN Module Dependencies.  Pick any two.
