Please not. If no OS packages are available, there's still "cpan IPC::Run"
to get it installed to $HOME automatically.

Here's yet another thing that I think is pretty major:
6. The tests fail if your $LANG isn't en_something:
ok 1 - vacuumdb -z postgres exit code 0
not ok 2 - vacuumdb -z: SQL found in server log
# Failed test 'vacuumdb -z: SQL found in server log'
# at
/home/cbe/projects/postgresql/postgresql/9.4/build/../src/test/perl/TestLib.pm
line 221.
# 'LOG: Anweisung: VACUUM (ANALYZE);
# '
# doesn't match '(?^:statement: VACUUM \(ANALYZE\);)'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.
... repeated a gazillion times. pg_regress unsets LANG and LC_*, the
perl tests should do also.
