So there's no problem now? Or did that just fix t/06attr.t?

And then there's the matter of the other two bugs (the incorrect
warning about LANG and the =encoding thing).

Thanks, Carl.  Well, I see that now, but I did not see it before, even
after looking for it.  And it's only a warning; it did not cause a
failure in the Makefile.PL step (exit status = 0).  Additionally, it's
nowhere near the point of failure, which occurred in make test.

Maybe I'm dreaming, but if the wrong version of Test::Simple will
cause test failures, then detecting the wrong version should trigger a
failure and it should be loud.  I spent probably an hour of time
scanning the docs for any mention of the problem, debugging the
failing test, then guessing the cause (maybe there's a more recent
version of Test::More needed to supply the note() function), and
searching on google, to end up deducing that Test::Simple needed to be
updated.

Or, alternatively, some comment in INSTALL or README.md mentioning the
correlation of the symptoms (failed test) with the version of
Test::Simple installed.

 Which is  the same thing, really.
