No probs, I know what it's like. Your efforts are much appreciated.

OK. Do you expect that to build as it stands?
I tried a simple-minded dpkg-buildpackage in that branch and it got as
far as
Making all in ext/DynaLoader
/usr/bin/make all PERL_CORE=1 LIBPERL_A=libperl.so.5.14.2 LINKTYPE=static

Perhaps some other work is needed to debian-build perl from git? I didn't see anything in
README.source of README.Debian saying to do something special.
I do have Spec.pm in /usr/lib/perl/5.14.2/File/ (from perl-base). So should @INC include that dir
on the path? Not sure if this is a building MA version on pre-MA setup issue?
If you expect it to build OK then I'll look a bit harder at what's actually amiss.

Hmm. I'll just re-read this thread before attempting to compose a coherent answer on this part.
