The two files are listed in the subject line.  :)

First off, the problem cited in your output is not caused by the patch
I just sent, but I'll deal with it anyhow.

Secondly, I think I would prefer that you use a more modern Perl
release (I've had good luck with the version shipped by ActiveState -
the installer is quick & easy & it doesn't require any external
libraries).  If you really don't want to, you could replace the mv
call with a wrapper function which calls rename, followed by a call to
copy and a call to unlink when the initial rename fails.  This is
necessary because the source and build dirs might be on different file
systems and a simple rename will usually fail in this case.
File::Copy::mv already handles this.
