I think that the connection is that all the failures spawn a new perl
But I'm not sure why they don't like spawning ../../t/perl when ../../perl
worked just fine. Something interpolating, where "\." is \ . but "\t" is
a tab character? But what has that sort of interpolation rule?

Doesn't everything in Perl that interpolates "\t" to a tab also interpolate
"\." to a dot?
