You didn't quite test everything.

I didn't try. :) In talking to Mark his previous testing clearly demonstrated that with the knob set would cause the INDEX generation to fail spectacularly. So the fact that this did not happen, seems like a good sign.

Some ports have optional PERL dependencies.

You should probably try WITH_PERL=yes before and after too.

That's a great suggestion, thanks. I re-ran the tests, all 4 with WITH_PERL defined, and then before and after _PERL_REFACTORING_COMPLETE and the 2 WITH_PERL INDEX files were the same in each branch. Different than the ones generated without WITH_PERL obviously ...

So yeah, a pointyhat run is almost certainly a good idea before actually making the change, however 'make index' was the canary in Mark's original coal mine, and fortunately that bird is still singing. :)
