Snippets of help for those attempting to use Perl 5.6

My thanks to one of our developers for forging through this:

<SNIP>

The problem is that the perl 5.6 headers don't define a necessary value.
If
you add the following line to the top of Blowfish.xs and/or DES.xs, things
should compile and work just fine:

#define sv_undef PL_sv_undef

Hopefully perl 5.6.1 will have this fixed.

Hope this helps,
-Brad
