I have to admit, I had started back at the "RC0 snapshot" writing a lot of the build code, so that it was already two-thirds-done when RC1 came out.
I just threw a few hours at it after that (I was watching for it on p5p, so got some advance warning before the announcement here) and got it to work. (Bonked my head on Test::Deep for a moment - had to wait for the dev version of that to come out - but it wasn't too hard.)
