Julian,

 I am very dubious about Convert-BinHex-1.119.  The README
says Alpha code, and the "make test" step fails miserably on
Solaris 9, perl 5.8.3:

> gmake test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/comp2bin....Can't locate package Exporter for @Checker::ISA at t/comp2bin.t line 3.
Undefined subroutine &main::check called at t/comp2bin.t line 75.
t/comp2bin....dubious
        Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
DIED. FAILED tests 1-9
        Failed 9/9 tests, 0.00% okay
Failed Test  Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/comp2bin.t  255 65280     9   18 200.00%  1-9
Failed 1/1 test scripts, 0.00% okay. 9/9 subtests failed, 0.00% okay.

Exporter is there, part of 5.8.3.  I saw in your announcement where you said:

  "If it fails the "make test" check, you will have to do force install
  Convert::BinHex"

Advice please....  And where did I put my Rolaids???
