Neither my memory nor my mail spool goes back 11 years. I am sure that I thought I was including a body in my message at the time but why there is none now I cannot say. Bit decay, perhaps. I think that it is likely - at least at the time - that setting PERL5OPT affected building perl from source, and that I thought it shouldn't, since it happened to me by accident. Opinions may differ.
