the only reference to eq_array changing in the Test::Simple changelog
has to do with holding on to old references and preventing them from
being DESTROY'd.

that being said there are more problems. when i try to test Gtk2 with
the newest Test::Simple lots of things fail (one of many):

variable is not of type Gtk2::Gdk::Atom at
/home/rmcfarla/local/lib/perl5//5.8.3/Test/More.pm line 1149. 

if they're including this with newer perl's then i suspect there will be
lots of people with problems. we probably have one of the largest tests
suites around, but by no mean is it that unique.
