Thanks for the hint.  I transplanted these files out of a 5.10.1
tarball into 5.8.3, then built as usual:
lib/Test/Simple.pm
lib/Test/More.pm
lib/Test/Builder.pm
lib/Test/Builder/Module.pm
The result seems to work, although it fails a few of 5.8.3's tests,
probably because I didn't copy over the relevant test scripts.
It's good enough to run PG's tests though.
