There are issues with lib/Module/Build/t/tilde.t when these tests are run
as part of the pkgsrc test target. Perl 5.10.1 is running one more of these
troublesome tests than 5.10.0, so I updated the package patch file
patches/patch-zd to disable it.

I was not able to reproduce any failure with lib/Archive/Extract's tests.

I was not able to seen this on NetBSD/amd64 5.0.1.
I tried the following: install perl 5.10.0 pkg, install p5-DBD-mysql
pkg, install a mysql
test DB and check that DBD::mysql self tests run ok, with DProf, make
replace perl package with the 5.10.1 version and then run the
DBD::mysql tests _with_ the installed an untouched package (hence
compiled while perl 5.10.0 was installed), with DProf. All tests were
ok.

FYI I think I'll go on with the perl5 update before the week end is over.

Cheers, Stoned.
