Can you show us the output of perlbug or perl -V? It includes all information that's needed on how you compiled Perl.

I'm not surprised that ../cpan/IPC-SysV/ tests fail, as most likely the Unix subsystem doesn't really have SysV IPC and maybe needs some better skipping logic in its tests.

Net::Ping failing is a tiny bit surprising, but maybe it needs root permissions in the WSL system and its detection goes wrong on whether it is root or not.

Can you also show the detailed output of a failing (socket) test? Run it maybe as

/path/to/hollis/fresh/bin/perl t/socket.t

Here`s the output of -V

Here's one of the tests:

So, yes. Apparently the linux subsystem is lacking SystemV support. Is there maybe a linux package I am missing? The WSL subsystem is just a barebone linux, for instance i had to install a stackexec package in order to get rakudo to compile.

You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.

Have you tried running your session as an 'Administrator' user? So launch cmd/powershell as an Administrator then run bash...

It's the Windows Subsystem for Linux marto, not just Windows. So there is no Administrator, just root. And everything is happening in my home directory, so no, it`s not a rights issue.

This seems to have been previously noted, although IO::Socket::IP was a sideline of the main issue and the issue thread contains no link to a solution for it.
