   Nope, not our problem.  perl_get_sv looks to be a symbol that was
present in perl 5.005 but depricated in later releases.  awgc.real is
using /usr/bin/perl which on 9.1 was perl 5.005, so it worked; in Athena
9.2, /usr/bin/perl is 5.6.1, which Sun has apparently compiled without
binary compatability enabled, so you don't get the symbol.

   Since 9.2 is a different value of $ATHENA_SYS, recompiling the perl
modules in the im locker on a 9.2 machine should be sufficient to make
this work again.
