Fwd: [Bug 4361] Check script ver 0.7.4 failure with latest Perl modules

Hello David,

Would you like to look into this? It's not the first windows user I  
see eventually deciding  to hack the check script and remove the -R  
option, and it is a disturbing trend.

There is also a little bug report for the doc.
