current_db_structure.sql would be acceptable, but you shouldn't need it

Nope -N is a new NOTE - BTW we're on 2.61 (nearly...)

You could always include a few duff module files:

# duff modules file:

	package Mail::Internet;
	return 1;

	package File::Spec;
	return 1;

	package HTML::Entities;
	return 1;

# end duff modules file

	my $o_bug = Perlbug::Object::Bug->new();

	my @all_bugids = $o_bug->ids();

	my @patchids = $o_bug->read('20010502.002')->rel_ids('patch');

and so on...
