This is a bug report for perl from domo@computer.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.27 running under perl v5.5.660.

For better or worse, miniperl now fails a basic test unless
lib/Config.pm exists:

base/term............Can't locate Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.5.660/powerpc-machten /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.5.660/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.00557/powerpc-machten /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.00557 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.00556/powerpc-machten /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.00556 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at base/term.t line
10.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at base/term.t line 10.
FAILED at test 0
Failed a basic test--cannot continue.

The following patch arranges that configpm is run before the tests are
started.  I also changed the comment output by the Makefile so that it
covers cases such as

io/openpid...........Can't load module IO, dynamic loading not available in this  perl.
  (You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports
  dynamic loading or has the IO module statically linked into it.)
 at ../lib/IO/Handle.pm line 241
 ...

A better patch would remove dependencies on Config.pm from the basic
tests.  But I don't have time to do that just now.
