Indeed. I'd love a patch from an interested porter that massages
Porting/check83.pl into t/porting/filenames.t
If you, dear reader, don't already have your name in AUTHORS, this would
be a great smallish task that would help Perl's portability and doesn't
require any C 'fu.
If you think you'd like to take a shot at this, please send a patch :)
Best,
Jesse
