No, that's the ;12 crap that I couldn't figure out what it was. The
value of $^X is actually something like:
$1$dkb300:[schwern.src.perl-current.][000000]perl.exe;11
which means it's the 11th version (11th time I'd built it). I had to
strip the ;11 off else it wouldn't work *shrug*.
NODE::DISK:[DIR1.DIR2]NAME.EXTENSION;VERSION

Still dunno what the [000000] means.

Something like that, yeah. This is why the oddity:
1 while unlink $file;
is necessary sometimes, to delete all versions of the file.
