No problem. I was kind of waiting for the dust to settle on how to
handle perl5 before I submitted a fix so you would only have to change
it once, but now's as good a time as any. :)

Ok, no problem. I am working on providing solutions along with problem
more often. Whether my solutions (or my problems :) make sense to anyone

Ok, thanks for the tip. I tried it a few different ways, but I think it
was the spacing that gummed me up when I tried it the first time. Make
still gives me a headache, but it's less severe than it used to be. :)
