But, but...I thought it was noted, here or in the bug reports, that the
csh-usage was an optional include, and was being taken out.  Maybe this
is a Debian stable/unstable issue?, because my current perl, and the
current rex/binary-i386 Packages file say:

Package: perl
Version: 5.003-2
Pre-Depends: libc5, libgdbm1, libdb1  

I've never had csh on this system and this version went in fine, works
fine.  Darren, are you around to confirm that this is behind us?
