The above message contained the following:

Well, at least you eliminated the POLLUTE warning.

Just "boom", eh?  No error message or anything?  Yuck!

What happens if you drop into the "perl/" subdirectory and manually
execute the command

    PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib \
        -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux \
        -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0 \
        test.pl
