IMPORTANT NOTE
--------------

If you get errors like this:

Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.so' for module P4: blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.so: 
undefined symbol: _ZN10ClientUser7MessageEP5Error at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229.

when you're running your 'make test', you are using build of the Perforce API
compiled with gcc2 on a machine running gcc3. Please download a gcc3 compiled
version of the Perforce API from 

http://www.perforce.com/downloads/perforce/rXX.Y/bin.linux80x86/p4api.tar

(where rXX.Y is the current Perforce release - i.e. r04.2)
