Well, the STATEMENT is not wrong, as it is qualified with "probably."  :)
But yes; my purpose was not to show a solution but to show that the answers
(or something close to them) were available from the MacPerl applications'

And hm.  You are right, it is not in the Camel, must be new.  So what have
we learned?  perldiag is not always right, and the Camel does not update
itself automatically, but they are a good start.
