Ah, that's cool. But as I said that 0.09 fails a bunch of tests for me.

It goes further than that. Apparently 0.07 (XS version) is newer than 0.09
(pure perl). I've contacted Tom and Dan and they said they are going to
rectify that issue.

I get the same failures. I'm not a Test::Harness expert, but it looks like
lots of the failures are coming from printed warnings - since the module
hasn't been updated in quite a long time, the warnings are probably new.
at any rate, the failing tests seem to be for the taint() trickery -
tainted() is a rather simple function and has always seemed to work for me
(under limited circumstances).
fwiw, anyway :)
