Two points in follow-up:
1. This bug has been difficult to diagnose because Parrot::Distribution
-- which is what it is ultimately testing -- names some variables in
ways that, IMHO, are misleading. Take, for example, this subroutine:
sub get_perl_language_files {
my $self = shift;
2. Parrot::Distribution contains a subroutine called is_perl() which
presumably tests whether a file in @perl_language_files actually *is* a
Perl file.
However, I cannot locate any location where is_perl() is called.
It used to be called deep in the bowels of Parrot::Distribution before
