Thanks for passing this on Gary, however it appears that the bug is with
me. I assumed that savannah.gnu.org and
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake would have the latest automake
information.
As it turns out savannah.gnu.org has automake cvs from more than 6
months ago. I am told that the latest automake has removed references to
Tie::RefHash::Nestable.
It would be nice if savannah cvs was updated and the page on gnu.org was
made to redirect to the real automake home page though.
Thanks,
Peter
