I tend to agree --- if only because, on my system, the executable is
called perl5.00502, and on the system I'm trying to connect too it is
perl5.001, perl5.003, perl-5.004 and perl5.00404.

Hmm. This, of course, would be guaranteed to break once perl6 is out,
and possibly on some (very few) perl4-only machines...
