This is a bug report for perl from tom@eborcom.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.24.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

Perl 5's "TEST" utility suggests running "make test" beforehand.  This
takes much longer than "make test_prep" which does everything necessary.

[Please do not change anything below this line]
