I did.
I needed to patch a few tests (6 or so); some made wrong assumptions
about $0, and some didn't skip a test while they should (usually, they
skipped only on win32 & os2); after that, all tests passed.

Strangely though, running 'perl harness' for detailed test results
completely freaked out (several crashes (suggesting a nesting problem?)
and even rebooting the machine at one point) (this was under WinME).
