Actually since, to the best of my knowledge, the patch that is pending
for perl5.004_02 is actually the patch on my web site, then I wouldn't
be too certain that things will work much better at all.

When I receive feedback that is of the order of "I had to make a lot of
changes", however, it is difficult to know exactly where to improve things.
