(1) B::Lint
-----------

I cannot confirm the B::Lint regression. It looks like a long standing
bug in B::Lint that it does not recognize the "implicit scalar context"
on lexicals.

@Ed: can you provide a better test case?

% for perl in perl5.18.1 perl5.16.3 perl5.14.4 perl5.12.5 ; do
  $perl -MB::Lint -le 'print $^V; print $B::Lint::VERSION'
  $perl -MO=Lint,context -le '           length(@array)' ;
  $perl -MO=Lint,context -le 'my @array; length(@array)' ;
done

(2) libpth
----------

I see no difference between my 4 perls with regard to libpth, but maybe
I'm missing something or it is more architecture specific.

@Ed: can you provide more detail?

% for perl in perl5.18.1 perl5.16.3 perl5.14.4 perl5.12.5 ; do
  $perl -MConfig -le 'print $^V; print $Config{libpth}'
