It's too late for me now to do any of that.  I'm hosed.
I can build perl, but I cannot run perl-cleaner.  I can't run h2ph.  There
are probably
a bunch of other things I can't do also.

Accordingly, I'm renaming the offending Errno.pm, knowing that there's
another more
recent one around.  I'm hoping that it's located by @INC or some such.

At the moment, it seems to be working.
