Tested commit: 5d6dcdd507ecd7e (today's date)

"make check" currently fails under tta/:

ke[3]: Entering directory '/home/g/src/texinfo/GIT/tta/perl'
make[4]: Entering directory '/home/g/src/texinfo/GIT/tta/perl'
ERROR: t/02coverage.t - missing test plan

Running just one of the tests gives an error message about an undefined
variable:

$ perl -w t/02coverage.t
Global symbol "$format_indices_sorted_sort_strings" requires explicit package 
name (did you forget to declare "my $format_indices_sorted_sort_strings"?) at 
t//../../perl/t/test_utils.pl line 1185.
Compilation failed in require at t/02coverage.t line 6.

This appears to have been introduced recently.
