This is a re-post that doesn't seem to have made it into "seen"; the
original[1] was buried in a thread, but Ævar reported there that it
fixes t3210 on his AIX build.

In case I didn't say it up in the previous post, this looks fine to me.
Using Perl here seems like a fine solution.  If we needed to in the
future, we could add this to test-tool and use the real readlink(2), but
we can hold off until we decide we need to.

Agreed on all counts (if we do want to drop perl from the test suite,
there are a lot of these little one-liners that would need converting).

Thanks.
