I have to say I agree with Stefan's point here. After quite a few years of
using cperl, I can say that almost without exception, everytime I've run
into problems, replacing the provided version with a newer one from Ilya's
site fixes the issue. However, it can be difficult to tell which version is
the later one (though I think there is more info in the file on this than
there use to be - I do remember being very confused in the beginning).
