I keep getting that annoying error:

# make test
make: *** No rule to make target `test'.  Stop.

AIX 4.3.3.0/ML-10:

FWIW the build process detects my perl (5.8.0), which has the defined-or
     patches in that will appear in 5.10.0 and can already be found in 5.9.0
     (the development version of perl). One of the things added in those
     patches is the *operator* '//', and it's low presedence version 'err'

FYI // is like ||, and describes itself as

my $var = defined $foo ? $foo : "blah";

is equal to

my $var = $foo // "blah";

but will probably be more often seen as

my $foo //= 0;  # set default

which can be chained

my $var = shift @_ // $ENV{FOO} // $hash{foo} // "foo";


The current state is one big heap of conflicts:

[ That count seems to be quite wrong ]

So my diagnostics where correct!
At this moment in time it is very unlikely that you will meet *anyone* in the
world that also hits this error, but as soon as perl-5.10.0's first alpha hits
the streets, I bet your mailbox will be flooded :)

[ And, yes, I *do* use bleading edge perl in my production work, but I guess I
  know what's going on :) ]

I suggest changing the name to something less likely to conflict in the future.
