Anyone have any problems with this configuration? I can't get it to pass the tests. But, when I run the tests with perl 5.8.0, some pass and some don't. I've rebuilt with the same results. I failed the following tests:

The reason I'm posting here instead of p5p is I wanted to find out if I'm missing something before I bother them. The thing is, op/sysio.t and io/tell.t pass when I run them with 5.8.0. (The others complain that Config.pm doesn't match. A problem with the tests that didn't complain?)

Something else - I commented out the include of Config for op/lfs and it immediately stopped cause Win32 doesn't have large file support? First, why did it do the test with perl5.8.2 and not perl5.8.0?

I built using the defaults Configure chose, in case it matters. And, for those wondering, I'm attempting to reproduce an error someone reported to me in one of my CPAN modules.
