Wow that was a fast reply! Thanks! The following is a challenge aimed at whoever made the deprecation decision for 5.11 (I'm not shooting the messenger):

Admittedly it needs a little more setup than most testing - the use of one extra user account, but my example script is trivial and the wrapper to demonstrate it would also be trivial. After being setup once the test script would continue to work as a regression test, and especially for a user on linux, the initial setup wouldn't take much work. Therefore it ought to be testable automatically. Since perl is heavily used by sysadmins I'd say that this feature is Important. Come on are you a perl programmer or not?
