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.
