in thread Test::Exception error on Strawberry Perl 5.14.3 ('Bareword "xception" ...')

Thank you for digging into this. I also learned that 5.14.3 is not officially supported, so I am inclined not to worry about the bug and the test failure.

I would like to have zero test failures, however, so I am thinking I will change the use open() call to a use if ... statement so it doesn't load under the broken perl/OS combo.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
