Two questions I have hit that perhaps other perlbug admins can help me
with:

1.  Suppose a bug is fixed in the current development track, but is
present in 5.6.0.  I don't know if it will be fixed in 5.6.1 because that
doesn't exist yet.  How should I mark it?

2.  Suppose a bug is fixed by a patch that is stored under a separate
bug-id?  How do I link the earlier bug-id to the later one?  I tried
putting in the later bug-id in the PatchID field and hitting 'update', but
that didn't do anything.  Any ideas?
