What a bunch of bloviating blather.

• The OP asked what to do about a specific failing test that he had "somehow" managed to spot.
• An anonymous poster told him to ignore it.
• I said that was stupid advice and urged the OP to investigate the reason for failing tests.
• You chimed in and stated that you have never been able to build Perl without errors, and said that there's no point in investigating failing tests because no one ever fixes the reason for them.
• I countered that that was more bollocks.

Posting hundreds of lines of output from what you state was a successful Perl build (your first? congrats!) doesn't really do anything to address the OP's question though, does it?
