Under 2.0.1.3, the split() function didn't work as the argument of a for()
clause.  I tried it every which way.  Assigning to an intermediate was needed.

I confirm this is fixed with 2.0.1.4 which is presumably where Larry tested
his optimization of my signature hack...

Also I notice that some packages (e.g. 'dumpvar.pl') which lacked a closing
'1;' *will* now make the 'do' statement fail.  Be warned!
