Ken, you are the person advocating for me to use perlbrew ;-) so I am going to toss this your way and ask if you have any suggestions. I had perlbrew installed for months but there was some initial trouble getting it to work and so I never built any perl using it. Today I tried again and unfortunately some tests failed:

  Failed tests:  269-270, 275-276, 281-282, 287-288, 293-294

perl-5.42.0 is not installed  <-- ha ha

I naturally went for the newest perl release, 5.42.0.:

perlbrew install -v -j 5 --switch --thread --multi --64all perl-5.42.0

Any ideas? Try with an older release maybe?
