I'm assuming that since it was written against 5.6.1 rather than the current bleadperl and it isn't in diff -u format, a new patch might be needed. One question comes to mind when I look at it, though. Have you tested the patch on a non-Tiger system? I haven't tested it on a non-Tiger system (I don't have access to one).
