This version built completely successfully on my machine (AT&T Sys V/386
3.2).  All tests passed.  New features appear to work as advertised.
Hours of family fun.

----------------------

Please NOTE:  dumpvar.pl still doesn't have a terminating '1;' to
assure success, so code of the form

	do 'dumpvar.pl' | die ...

can still fail.  I keep patching this myself on each release but
forgetting to mention it, then bombing on new patchlevels.  No more.

----------------------

I seriously suggest that the next release add t/op.japh which runs
through some of the most interesting Randal one-liners and verifies they
all generate 'Just another Perl hacker,'.  It's amazing how useful
apparently frivolous code can be for finding unexpected bugs.
