It uses Perl directly to compute the numeric mode of a file.  The
version in -CURRENT uses a combination of stat(1), bc(1) and shell
arithmetic which causes a syntax error in 4.x.

Personally, I think it would be best if stat(1) could gain an option
(-m perhaps) that makes it simply print its arguments' modes in octal.
