But no longer fun.  :-(

Since you are kind enough to test a development version of perl, perhaps
you'd submit the bug report for this?  Read-onlyness should have nothing
to do with bitwise-negation.  Next we won't be able to use it for the
example in perlop because 027 is read-only.

    0666 &~ 027 is 0640
