I am hacking Git, and I don't have perl >= 5.10.1. On the other hand I can alway run "make test" or individual tests instead of "make test_harness".

A better solution would be to check Perl version, or even better of "prove" supports '--jobs' option, and selectively enable parallel running of test harness in Makefile.
