The system I first tried this did not have IO::String installed.  Is this
something we would want to rely on being available?

It also indicates a slight problem in test_external.  Can it become a bit
easier to tell such a basic problem apart from real test errors?  I needed
to look into /tmp/* to see where it is failing but it would be nice if we
can somehow see the breakage with "sh t9700-*.sh -v".
