Just under the wire (102% capacity, no errors). The final install took
up 25%+ of the file system. [Sure wish so many other applications wouldn't
require perl to install them.] Someone might know a better way, but the
following after `make test` "worked."
rm -rf t vos vms win32 (and any other oses you'll not need support for)
vi Makefile (edit the install.perl target so that binaries are stripped)
make install.perl
