I was not happy about doing so, but my alternatives were:
1) have the new updmap fail to accept the same option styles as the old;
2) rewrite the entire arg parsing from scratch;
3) require a newer perl. 5.8.4 was released in 2004.
I went with #3.
Perhaps it is possible to detect a too-old perl and then avoid that arg
parsing spec. That will take time to investigate.
(b) fix install-tl to check exit status and show errors like this...
Granted.
