More perl5.005.03 weirdness ...

Whilst not an issue unto itself, I did come across an unusual error (of my own making) whilst using Perl 5.005.03 on Solaris. The error was:

Callback called exit.
END failed--cleanup aborted.

This error resulted from my foolishly attempting to use an INIT block of code within a Perl 5.005.03 script. For the record, Perl 5.005.03 only supports BEGIN and END blocks - It was not until 5.6.0 that the additional blocks CHECK and INIT were introduced.
