Ben Reser, our RM, seemed to think it wasn't worth releasing a 1.1.3 
just to fix the perl bindings.  Well, here's a good reason.

(I'm also tired of telling people which revisions to fetch & apply to 
fix the problem.  If we're not going to release a 1.1.3, then we should 
at least post a "official" patch in the FAQ.)
