That brings up something I was intending to ask you about -- any special
tips about running the buildfarm script with a different Perl version
than is used in the PG build itself?  I'm trying to modernize a couple
of my buildfarm animals to use non-stone-age SSL, but I don't really
want to move the goalposts on what they're testing.
