I'm -current as of a couple of weeks ago.  And yes I have all the
COMPAT_* options enabled.

Interesting.  I've never used SETUIDSCRIPTS and I've never told perl
to emulate them - I just never use setuid scripts...

BTW I noticed that on NetBSD and SunOS, perl's Configure does not do a
good job of working out which libc.so is in use.  On both systems it
offered to use the oldest one available (from 0.9 on zen!)

Thanks for the data point...
