I was trying to test one of my modules[1] on an earlier version of

Test::Builder[2], so I abandoned that for the moment. Now, I
cannot get my tests to run using my current Perl (5.8.7) and I get
errors like this:

What on Earth have I done to my machine??? I've done
$ ./Build distclean
Probably you need to do './Build realclean' and then run 'perl
Build.PL' again. If you run 'perl5.6.foo Build.PL', thereafter
whenever you run ./Build it will use perl5.6.foo.
