I just realized yesterday that it was not possible to install version.pm 0.77 on
Perl 5.10.0 without a compiler (i.e. to use the pure Perl module).  It turns out
the fix was extremely small and should be applied to Module::Build's inline code
as well (see below).

If it is too late for 0.34, just apply this for the next public M::B release; it
doesn't affect whatever goes into 5.10.1 (M::B will use the core code anyways)
and it only affects modules which do weird things with eval and locale.

Thanks

John
