Hm, I have never used that one.  I'll try to see if there are notes
about changes in more recent Perls (I'm using 5.005_03 for
development, and 5.6 for use).  If I can't find anything, I'll send
you are more tracing version of autom4te, maybe we could find
something.

Other than that, IIRC Gary already observed a bug in a similar version
of Perl that affected Automake.  My goal is to have the same
requirements for both tools, and

5.005_02 is somewhat old now.  Would you say requiring 5.005_03 is too
much?
