Discussion

   Karl Williamson is covering the recent failures on [34]AIX and [35]HP-UX.

   We received a nice thank-you [36]email from Nicolas Graf. Fun to read!

   Todd Rinaldo suggested a patch in [37]Perl #127810 to be able to compile
   Perl so it does not also load the current directory into @INC. There is a
   conversation ongoing on the ticket.
