[Rd] Undefined subroutine &R::Rdconv::fill (PR#3485)

[Klinglesmith, Michael T]

Yes you do seem to be correct.  

I have pointed to a new version of perl (v5.6.1) and it builds cleanly

Thank you,
Michael.

I would suspect that this is the culprit. We do check that the perl
version is at least 5.004 so we expect your version to work, but on
the other hand it is quite old (~ 6 years it would seem) and quite
likely noone actually checked against that version when making changes
to Rdconv.
