I guess the selftests would fail, and this can be inconvenient for installers (bug has been filed by Dave for t/try_examples.t).

I've unpacked it, will try to grab a roundtuit this weekend. Apart from the trying it out, other things to do would be - talk about it (if people turn up for talking) - commit it (nice and easy) - put the tests somewhere they won't break an install (probably a few hours hacking about) - fix enough outstanding bugs to quiet the clamour of the users (!) (probably more talking required) - make a release... requires Piers' cooperation? Andrew, are you keen to see your code release ASAP or is it just a "make it available and people might find it handy" distribution?
