The second issue was with activitymail. I got this error:
Can't determine distribution version, must supply either
'dist_version', 'dist_version_from', or 'module_name' parameter at
/usr/local/lib/ perl5/5.10.0/Module/Build/Base.pm line 978.

This despite this line in Build.PL (which has worked in the past):

     dist_version_from  => 'bin/activitymail',

Bah.  r10222.  Same deal for version.pm in fact.

Would you be able to write a test for this?  The t/script_dist.t might
be a good start.

I don't understand why that test doesn't fail. And what is it you were  
trying to achieve in r10222? How could it break this?

Thanks,
