Summary: use subs no longer groks prototypes

Initial Comment:
under 5.004 I used to be able to declare

use subs qw/ frob gnibitz($;$) blort($@) /;

and the prototypes would pass-thru and work.

under 5.6.1b1, use subs hasn't changed! (still says 
require 5.000) but no longer understands prototypes. I 
have to 

sub frob;
sub gnibitz($;$);
sub blort($@);

separately, which is far uglier.

Is this problem specific to MacPerl or something that 
broke in 5.6.1 ?
