I see that there are a couple of failures on 5.6.2 test boxes - I said
this would happen:

Here's a patch to usage.t to skip the new tests on perl's before
5.8.0, as I don't have the time (or will) to investigate the INTERFACE
keyword failures on 5.6.x.   I think I've got the incantation right,
but this is untested, as I'm travelling and don't have access to my
build environments right now.  Perhaps it should be 'TODO' rather than
'SKIP' ?
Regards,
Rob.
