This causes make check-world to deliver a flurry of pop-ups from
macOS's built-in Firewall asking if perl should be allowed to listen
to all interfaces (well I didn't catch the exact message, but that's
probably the drift).  Not sure if they'd go away permanently if I
managed to click OK before they disappear, but it's fun trying.  The
silly firewall facility is not actually enabled by default on this OS,
but unfortunately this company-issued machine has it forced to on.
This isn't really an objection to the code, it's more of a bemused
anecdote about a computer that can't decide whether it's a Unix
workstation or a Fisher Price My First Computer.
