OK.  The fixes were discussed over the last few days but weren't in Monday's
snapshot (perl@16083) so I assumed they had fallen by the wayside.  I
still see no indication in the repository browser that the issues my
patch addresses are already fixed, but I could be missing something.

Yes, that was a strange one.  I was getting uninitialized value
warnings when the END blocks executed even though $datafile, for
example, clearly had something in it.  I took the easy way out and
got rid of the function call since it didn't seem to add value there.
