Regex gone wrong somewhere?  Maybe due to an older perl bug?  What
version of perl are you using?


It picked up the system perl in /usr/sbin which is 5.004_05.

Rerunning with nekoware perl (5.8.8) first in the path fixes this.
Sounds like we should be requiring a minimum version of perl in build-aux/update-copyright, and teaching test-update-copyright to skip if perl is not that new. Jim, my perl is quite weak, would you mind taking this one?
