Except this will kill:
1) AUTOLOADed things
2) A goodly chunk of the perl core modules that have platform-specific
function calls in code protected by "if ($^O eq 'whatever')"
3) Code that requires things
4) Code written by folks getting altogether too clever with symbol tables
Nothing insurmountable, though fixing #2 would take some work. (Presumably
people affected by 1, 3, or 4 just Won't Do That)
