I don't know :-) I'm not too familiar with bash scripts, but the bash
version I use (1.14.7.2 or something like this) has no problems with
this. I'm not sure about perl 5.005_02, but 5.004_02 was successfully
built by the stock 1.14.7 bash by several people.

Another workaround would be that Richard sends me his library &
headers, and I'll configure perl for him.
