>Description:

When one uses /usr/bin/patch to bring perl5.003_05 up to perl5.003_07 with
the diffs, new files are created in the current directory instead of the
right place specified by both the "***/---" lines and the "Index:" line.

patch-2.1.tar.gz from any GNU mirror sites doesn't have the problem.

>How-To-Repeat:

Get perl5.003_05.tar.gz from CPAN
Get perl5.003_06.pat.gz and perl5.003_07.pat.gz from CPAN as well and try
to apply them. Configure will note that the files are missing and yell.

>Fix:
	
Maybe update our patch or re-import patch-2.1 in contrib.
