Note that although perlbug was indeed run under perl v5.6.0,
I believe that bbermack's error happened under perl v5.005_03.
In our environment, we have both a vendor-installed Perl, which
is /usr/bin/perl, and a locally-built Perl, which is
/usr/athena/bin/perl.  "perlbug" is ours and is version
5.6, but /usr/bin/perl is the vendor's and is version 5.005.


See the "#!" line of bbermack's script, and the following:

    % where perlbug
    /usr/athena/bin/perlbug

    % head -1 /usr/athena/bin/perlbug
    #!/usr/athena/bin/perl

    % where perl
    /usr/athena/bin/perl
    /usr/bin/perl

    % /usr/athena/bin/perl -MConfig -e 'print Config::config_vars("version")'
    version='5.6.0';

    % /usr/bin/perl -MConfig -e 'print Config::config_vars("version")'
    version='5.00503';


Sincerely,
