Just as a data point, on my debian/stormix linux box it runs but does
absolutely nothing, except for a couple of warnings if enabled.  The
same thing happens on both 5.005_03 and 5.7.1, so it's probably not
related to the perl version.

It's probably trying to backtick something that doesn't work the way it
expects, but I can't figure out what.  Unless of course it's *supposed*
to do nothing at all..
