I just installed Regexp-Common-2011121001 on top of Perl 5.14.2
(Linux/i386), using the 'cpan' utility.  I got no warnings during 'make
test'.  Nor did I get warnings during 'prove -v t/*.t'.  Nor did I get
any warnings saying:

    perl -we 'use Regexp::Common'

I suspect that the bug was fixed at some point in the last eight years
and recommend that the ticket be closed.

Thank you very much.
