Yes indeed.   Works great now, without any -M option!

Well hmmm.   Maybe I could build a special pp only perl binary.   Or maybe
there is not disadvantage to the older glibc lib so I should do it by
default?

So I guess this is a general problem for linux binaries that I hadn't
realized before.  Too used to windows .exe files I suppose :)  On linux,
binaries must be rebuilt for each platform, or to the oldest version of
whatever libs they use.   I don't recall this as a problem when I test drove
the ActiveState perlapp, so maybe that is what they did.

I'm using the windows binaries you built, distributed via nmake MakeFile.pl
etc.
