Minor nit.

First, the patch I got from the net failed for eval.c (wrong version).
Maybe I was running with a bad eval.c from the previous version
without knowing it?

So, I FTP'ed the latest from devvax.  Got'em compiled (still have the
volatile bug on Ultrix 2, so my notes for building pl12 still apply).
Ran'em.  Looks super.  Tried 'perl -de 0' to invoke the debugger.  It
worked fine.  Said 'print $];'.  Gacck!  Patchlevel 12!  Checked
source.  Yup.  Still 12!  So now, except for the addition of the slice
operator, there's no very-fast way to tell the difference.

If Larry says "fixed in Patch 15", I'll scream. :-)

print +(split(//,'Just anoherPlck,'))[0..7,3,8..10,4,11,9,10,12,4,8,5,13,14,9,10,15];
