Don't speed up on my account.  I'm gone all next week.

Well, automake should never be broken in the repo.  Anyway I don't
have time to look at patches until at least a week from tomorrow.

I don't think so.  I run Red Hat 6.2, which is a reasonable OS to use.
It isn't obsolete yet.  It comes with perl 5.005_03.  I don't know
what the stable Debian release uses, but we should support that Perl
as well.
